Related: http://carrollhistory.org/the-forgotten-corner-the-history-of-oakland-mills/ Enjoy Diana Scott’s 2014 presentation when she spoke in Sykesville about her new book The Forgotten Corner: A History of Oakland Mills.

Westminster, MD - The Historical Society of Carroll County is pleased to announce that The Forgotten Corner: A History of Oakland Mill by Diana Scott - one of its best-selling titles - is now available again.

The book has been out of print for several years but now, thanks to a generous donation by Diana and her husband, Charles, the book is being updated and re-printed.

Based on years of research, the book tells the fascinating story of a Carroll County community lost to the waters of Liberty Reservoir. From early settlement to the growth of a textile mill on the bank of the Patapsco River, it examines the lives of those who worked in and around the Oakland Manufacturing Company.

Oral histories with some of the last residents offer a moving account of life in the town and the experience of watching their community disappear. The new edition includes information not found in the original.

The book will be after available November 11 in the Shop at Cockey’s. The price is $22.00 plus tax. Historical Society members receive a 10% discount. The Shop is located at 216 East Main Street in Westminster. The Shop is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Mrs. Scott presented an illustrated lecture on the history of Oakland Mill at the Historical Society’s Box Lunch Talk on November 11, 2015 at Grace Hall, Grace Lutheran Church, Carroll Street, Westminster.

The Box Lunch Talks begin at noon and last about an hour. Bring your lunch – the Society provides beverages and desserts. Admission is $3.00 for Society members and $7.00 for non-members. Books will be available for purchase.

Carroll County Election Results by Charles Albert

Carroll County Election Results by Charles Albert 



Posted January 11, 2007

Recently I have been asked several times for information that I was able to quickly and easily obtain from Mr. Albert’s book.

Many folks will know Mr. Albert as Westminster Common Council member Suzanne Albert’s[1] husband.

For history and political geeks such as me, this book is a must for your library and worth every penny of its $41.00 price tag.  It is meticulously researched and includes almost 566 pages of names and dates, political parties historical context and commentary

It can be obtained by contacting Craig Scott or any of his staff at Willow Bend Books,[2] 65 East Main Street (in the old Times Building where Bobby’s Hobby Lobby - across the street from the old Westminster Fire Hall - was for many years) in Westminster, MD 21157.

He lists a “1-800” number on his web site:

Library Services Division: 1-800-398-7709 and Fax: 410-871-2674

I found this e-mail address: webmaster@WillowBendBooks.com

A description of the book on Mr. Scott’s web site is as follows:

Mr. Albert has compiled county voting results from past elections that are available, and identified all of the people whose names appeared on a ballot in Carroll County. 2002, 6x9, paper, index, 566 pp.

[2] Willow Bend Books has always tried to provide one-stop shopping to its customers. Before January 2001, Willow Bend Books focused on growing inventory and availability, publishing a few titles every year, acquiring other publishing firms, etc. Its goal was to be all that it could be to the genealogy marketplace. With the acquisition of Heritage Books, Inc. in January 2001 and the years that have followed, is became apparent that things were not as simple as they were before. Whereas before we was able to allocate resources in a non-competitive manner among one-stop shopping and our publishing responsibilities, today those responsibilities seem to operate at cross purposes. So now we hope, by spinning off Willow Bend Books from Heritage Books we will be able to better separate the revenue streams, focus on what we do best, and again provide a place for one-stop acquisition of material of interest, especially to genealogical librarians. 
If you need a book in a hurry, we are not the place to purchase a title (unless it happens to be a Heritage Books title). If you are willing to wait a while then we can decrease the number of purchase orders that you have to deal with. We will endeavor to be the place to learn what exists out there in the market place and keep you informed.
If you purchase from us, you understand that everything from us is special order. We do not stock anything. It will take some time to fill your order as we wait to reach minimum order quantities with publishers, wait for societies and individuals to respond to our requests for their books, and get them on their way.
