Excerpt from Aler's History of Martinsburg and Berkeley County, West Virginia: From the Origins of the Indians, Embracing Their Settlements, Wars, and Depredations, to the First White Settlement of the Valley
N presenting this work to the public I feel that a great responsibility has been undertaken. It may, no doubt, meet with the harsh criticism of many; but as a consolation I feel satisfied that nothing but facts have been stated, and that every reader interested in the growth, prosperity and history of Berkeley County will appreciate this honest attempt. I have ventured this work on the market, feeling confident that the interested class - the people that have labored for our City and County - the ones that owe and feel a debt of gratitude to their forefathers for the present stage of their existence and welfare of the County - will sustain me in my efforts.
