Book excerpt: Because they were situated near the Mason-Dixon line, Shepherdstown residents witnessed the realities of the Civil War firsthand.

The story of Shepherdstown's transformation into "one vast hospital" recounts nightmarish scenes of Confederate soldiers under the caring hands of an army of surgeons and civilians.
