Clarksburg

Near thirty miles from the village of Clarksburg is the small hamlet of Weston, then a notorious haunt for rebels.

The last mischief that was done this fall, was perpetrated at the house of Samuel Cottrail near to the present town of Clarksburg.

The detachment left Webster on the 22nd and marched to Clarksburg, distant 18 miles, arriving there the same day.

Clarksburg will be remembered by the great abundance, in its vicinity, of blackberries during the early fall of that year.

We started on our march to Clarksburg in the afternoon, to go by way of Harpers Ferry to take the cars there, to the former place.
