FFAA life member, Patrick Smith has published a book about William Henry Harrison Friend 1840-1919.
“The Maps and Papers of William H.H. Friend” (2006) by Patrick T, Smith
William H.H. Friend was a Civil War Veteran, farmer, father, husband and land surveyor who lived in Western Maryland. Through an extraordinary turn of luck, many of William’s surveys have survived the passage of time. William’s original hand drawn maps and hand written surveys have remained virtually unseen by the public for over a century. William’s works has been collected for the first time in the book “The Maps and Papers of William H.H. Friend” by Patrick T. Smith. This book offers a brief glimpse into the life William H.H. Friend provides a guide for interrupting the work and has numerous present day maps, giving a best guess location of William’s work. The book contains over one hundred high solution digital scans of William’s maps and surveys as well as limited commentary on each.
The cost of initial printing of the book has been donated to the FFAA. Proceeds from the initial copies and reprints produced by the FFAA will go to the FFAA (a non-profit organization).
