<p>Hugh and Hannah Brady's Homestead, located among the rolling hills of  Pennsylvania's Cumberland Valley, occupies a special place in the hearts of Brady descendants. This meticulously researched book chronicles the history of the Homestead starting from the time Hugh arrived in America in the 1730s. In the process, it covers:Hugh's nine-month suspension from his church;kidnappings and massacres in and around Hopewell Township during two Indian wars;the Bradys' days as slaveholders;and a history of both cabins that sit on the property today.But the history of the Homestead doesn't end with the Bradys.  Subsequent families who lived on the Homestead have left behind their own stories, including:the four-day occupation of Shippensburg by the Confederate Army, when the Homestead stood between two separate encampments of foraging enemy troops;the tragic tale of the Benjamin Newcomer family who lived on the Homestead in the late 1800s;the Brechbiel family's deeply engaging stories of growing up on the Homestead in the 1940s and '50s;and the Lampe family's challenges as they restored and improved the Homestead's historic structures.Whether you've already visited the Homestead or are planning a trip, this book will dramatically increase your appreciation of this evocative and historic place.</p>
