George Weikert was born around 1801 and moved to the Gettysburg area from Maryland in 1838. He bought the 78 acre farm north of Little Round Top in 1852.
George and his family left the farm during the fighting. Afterwards they returned to scenes of desolation familiar to many Gettysburg residents. The house was a field hospital, with wounded filling the parlor and amputated arms and legs piled outside the windows. According to family history, six men died just in the parlor, and the yard was filled with graves. When the buried were exhumed to be placed in the National Cemetery, the missing parlor rug was found, cut into strips as the top and bottom layers of the burial trench.
After the battle the farm was purchased by survivors of the New Jersey Brigade to presrve the land that the brigade held during the battle. The New Jersey Brigade’s monument is about 200 yards east of Weickert farmhouse. The farm today is owned by the National Park Service.
George Sandys (1578-1644) was a British poet and politician. After studying at Oxford he became colonial treasurer for agriculture and industry of the Virginia Company. In his lifetime he was much admired as a translator of Latin poetry. Sandys travelled in the East in the years 1610-1611, starting out from France. He sailed from Venice to the Ionian Islands, the southern Peloponnese, Chios, Lesbos, and the Straits of the Dardanelles from where he reached Constantinople. From there he sailed to Egypt, and visited Mount Sinai and the Holy Land. On his return trip, he put in at Cyprus, Sicily, Naples and Rome.
Sandy’s chronicle is the first detailed and polished travel account, with well-documented information from ancient sources cited in marginal notes. As such, it marks the transition from travel literature of the sixteenth century to that of the seventeenth. It is also representative of those travel narratives that oscillate between geography, history and autobiographical travelogue of fluid and contradictory character. Sandys strives to transmit original and unique geographical and anthropological knowledge, while at the same time increasingly expressing his own opinions and interpretations of what he sees.
This publication, enriched with in-text copperplate engravings with original subjects, made an essential contribution to geographical and ethnographical knowledge in its time. It was translated into German and Flemish, and ran through nine editions in the seventeenth century alone. Besides passages from the Holy Scripture (1621-1626), Sandys translated and annotated Ovid's "Metamorphoses". The publication of the latter work in 1632, with citations from philosophers and commentaries by ancient authors, alongside his translation of the first book of Virgil’s "Aeneid", established Sandys as an authority in literary circles of his era.

İngiliz asıllı şair ve siyaset adamı George Sandys (1578-1644), Oxford'da öğrenim görür, bir İngiltere kolonisi olan Virginia Company'de tarım ve endüstri konularında veznedar mevkiinde bulunur. Antik Latin ozanları şiirlerinin çevirisinde gösterdiği üstün yetenek yüzünden yaşadığı devirde bu konuda bir otorite sayılmaktaydı. 1610-11 yıllarında Doğu'ya seyahatine Fransa'dan yola çıkarak başlar. Venedik'ten gemiyle kalkıp İyon adaları, güney Peloponez (Mora), Sakız, Midilli'ye uğrar ve Çanakkale Boğazından geçip İstanbul'a varır. Oradan gine gemiyle Mısır'a gider, Sina dağını, Kutsal Yerleri (Kudüs'ü) ziyaret eder. Dönüşünde ise Kıbrıs, Sicilya, Napoli ve Roma'dan geçer.
Özenle ve ayrıntılarla yazılmış ilk seyahatnamelerden biri olan yapıtında verdiği bilgileri antik kaynaklara yaptığı ve sayfa kenarlarına eklediği göndermelerle kanıtlar. Bu seyahatname 16. yüzyılda yazılan seyahatname türünden 17. yüzyılınkine "geçiş"in habercisi olur. Coğrafya ile tarih hatta özyaşam anlatısı arasında gidip gelen değişken ve çelişik karakterli seyahatnamelerin bir örneğidir. Metinde bilgi aktarımının başarılabilmesi yolunda özel bir gayret algılıyoruz. Bu bilgiler coğrafya ve insanbilim (antropoloji) içerikli olup özgün ve nadir niteliktedir. Aynı zamanda metnin akışı boyunca gezginin gittikçe derinliğine inen yorumlayıcı bakışı araya girmekte.
Metin aralarında yer alan ve özgün konular sergileyen bakır gravürlerle tamamlanan kitap zamanın coğrafya ve insanbilim bilgilerinin çoğalmasında esaslı bir biçimde katkıda bulunur, almanca ve flamancaya çevrilir ve sadece 17. yüzyıl içinde dokuz kez yeniden basılır. Sandys İncil'den parçalar çevirisinden başka (1621-26), Ovidius'un Metamorphoses adlı yapıtını çevirip açıklamalar eşliğinde yayınlar. Bu yapıt 1632'de felsefik özdeyişler ve antik çağ yazarlarından yorumlarla zenginleşmiş olarak, hatta Vergilius'un Aeneis destanının bir kısmının çevirisini de kapsayarak yayınlanınca Sandys çağının entelektüeller dünyasında son derece saygın bir konuma gelir.

Fairfax to survey the valleys of Patterson Creek and the South Branch of the Potomac, part of the vast tract of land of which Fairfax was proprietor

In order to settle a territory dispute between England and France over land in Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, Virginia governor Dinwiddie ordered Major Washington to Wills Creek (Cumberland), then on to Fort Leboef (near Erie, Pa.) to deliver an order of withdrawal of the French from English-claimed territory. The French refused to leave, asserting possession by prior claim.
1754
Washington, now a Lt. Colonel, was ordered to lead a company of Virginia militia to the Forks of the Monongahela and Allegany Rivers to build and defend a fort. New of a takeover of the site by the French compelled Washington to convene a War Council at Wills Creek. It was decided to lead his company on, finally engaging the French at Fort Necessity. A superior French army defeated the Virginia militia, allowing the survivors to return East.
1755
Responding to the refusal to accept the British claim, English Gen. Edward Braddock was ordered to America. Washington was assigned to his staff. The British expeditionary force assembled on this site. French defenders at Ft. Duquesne (Pittsburgh) prepared an ambush which succeeded in defeating the British force. Braddock was mortally wounded. The survivors were led back to Ft. Cumberland by George Washington

Virginia militia was mustered here at Fort Cumberland and command by Colonel Washington. His troops joined Forbes at Raystown, (Bedford, Pa), then marched to defeat the French at Ft. Duquesne, which was renamed Ft. Pitt.
President Washington's Last Visit - 1794
On October 16, 1794, President George Washington arrived in Cumberland to review about 5,000 troops of the Maryland and Virginia militia gathered here during the Whiskey Rebellion. A few days later, this militia army assembled upon the parade ground of old Fort Cumberland, where the Allegany County Courthouse now stands. The President appeared dressed in his full military uniform, and the entire population of the town was present to witness the historic event. General Washington rode along the line from right to left, and was loudly cheered by the men. Afterwards the command marched in review, and Washington raised his hat as a salute, while they passed. Generals Harry Lee and Daniel Morgan also were present and participated.
LOOKING BACK -- (Please try to get most of this caption info in.) Rod Savage of Eugene submitted this photo of his great-great-grandfather, George Savage, riding a cow in 1900. George Savage was a blacksmith in Marcola, where the photos were taken. "It is something seeing him not only on the cow, but he is in a white shirt and tie and wearing a six-gun, probably common for the day, I guess," says Savage. "I never met him but understand that he was much like others of that era -- hard-working and a man of few words and a lot of action."
