Monocacy National Battlefieldâ¿¿ Ethnographic Overview

The purpose of this Ethnographic Overview and Assessment (EOA) is to provide baseline documentation identifying traditionally associated communities, contemporary communities, and communities of interest. The EOA will include oral history collection, descriptions of historical and contemporary resource use, a bibliography of ethnohistorical and ethnographic information, and recommendations for further studies. The project will be supported by previous archeological and genealogical work conducted at Lâ¿¿Hermitage, the home and plantation operated but the Vincendiere family and labored by 90 enslaved people in the 19th century. Additionally, Monocacy National Battlefield is significant for its rich history associated with the American Civil War.
