Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annals of Bedford County, Pennsylvania: Consisting of Condensed Sketches of the Most Important Events Which Occurred During the Century From January 1750 to 1850; Prepared for Old Home Week, August 4-10, 1907 At the request of the editor of the Bedford Gazette I have prepared this little historical pamphlet by condensing what I have already written on the subject, for the information of The Home-comers in August 1907. It is not intended to publish a full and complete history of the county, but merely to recount the leading events which have transpired in the territory now embraced in the counties of Bed ford and Fulton during the century between 1750 and 1850, at which last date Fulton county was taken from Bedford county.
