Notre Dame: Shriver Manuscripts of the American Civil War
I was researching the letters between members of the Shriver
family during the American Civil War, for an upcoming column in January 2013,
and came across an unexpected great source of information at Notre Dame:

Introduction to the Shriver Family Correspondence
By George Rugg
The Shriver correspondence is a small group of mostly
war-related notes and letters, written from 1860 to 1865 by the brothers Andrew
Keiser Shriver (four items) and Thomas Herbert Shriver (three items). The
authors were two of the thirteen children of William and Mary Owings Shriver of
Union Mills, Carroll County, Maryland. The Union Mills Shrivers were a locally
prominent family, whose "homestead" on the Westminster-Gettysburg
road served as a base for various entrepreneurial and political activities. At
the time of the Civil War ownership of the homestead properties was divided
between William Shriver (1796-1879), who managed the milling operations, and
his brother Andrew. The children of William and Mary Shriver were raised as
Roman Catholics, under the tutelage of their mother… http://www.rarebooks.nd.edu/digital/civil_war/letters/shriver/

Last Tuesday marked the 150th anniversary of the first shots fired in the American Civil War -- at 4:30 a.m. on Friday, April 12, 1861, at Fort Sumter, in the Charleston, S.C., harbor.

Dr. John William Pitts[1]
By Kevin Dayhoff © June 29th, 2003
The first Mayor of Berlin, Dr. John William Pitts, had a small role in Corbit’s Charge in Westminster Maryland on June 29th, 1863.
In 1863, young Private John William Pitts, from Worcester County, was serving in Company K 1st Va. Cavalry (almost all the men in Company K were from southern Maryland). Private Pitts had been attending the University of Virginia as a medical Student and enlisted in the Confederate Army.
The morning after the conflict, June 30th, 1863, Co. A of the 3rd Pa. Calvary came sweeping into town thinking that there was a continued substantial Confederate force still in town, when in reality there were only stragglers left behind. The morning began with the Union Forces firing a few artillery rounds across the town to lay the ground work for a clean-up operation. Private Pitts was one of 25 Confederates captured around 7:30 AM and imprisoned at Fort Delaware, just outside of Wilmington, Delaware and subsequently released. (He somehow later returned to duty.)
After the war, Dr. Pitts became prominent in Maryland in the medical field and later distinguished himself by becoming the first Mayor of Berlin, when Berlin formed in 1896. He also remained in the service, becoming a captain in the Maryland National Guard, and was vice president of the C. B. Taylor Banking Company. He served eight years on the Democratic Central Committee and reportedly voted the Democratic ticket all his life.[2]
