In Pennsylvania and all states of this nation, there are places that were once vital but are now locally beloved by-ways that hold memories of ancestors and former days. Here is a general account of the early residents of the Big Spring area of Cumberland County, and how families lived there before the advent of gas-powered machinery. Beginning before Cumberland County was created, settlers claimed land for farming on both sides of the spring and around 1800, villages were established at each end of the six-mile spring. One village lives on as the fully-functioning, history-rich, well-documented town of Newville. This book pays particular attention to the other village, Springfield (alternately known as Big Spring), which was laid out on a hill near the head of the Big Spring. Springfield faded away over the course of 150 years, leaving only a few original houses, stone foundations and fences to mark the spot. It lives on in nostalgia, along with the drovers, artisans, wagons, horses, mills, taverns and the turnpike which sustained it during the age of the horse.

Covering over 661 square miles and listed as the fourth most populous county in the Tar Heel State, Cumberland County possesses a unique heritage, one marked by fascinating stories of military action dating from the American Revolution to the present, colorful local personalities, and participation in America's first political endeavors and the state's early government. The county's hard-working people, from the farmer to the merchant to the corporate executive, have helped to forge North Carolina's identity as a progressive New South leader. This volume of over 180 vintage photographs, drawings, maps, and portraits will take you on an enchanting visual journey into the past, showing the Cumberland County of yesteryear, from the metropolis of Fayetteville to the county's smaller communities, such as Linden, Godwin, and Wade, during the early part of the twentieth century. Cumberland County allows you to experience firsthand the early cityscapes around the growing county, the evolution of the dirt roads into busy highways, the different modes of transportation upon the rivers and railways, the early businesses and developing industries, both rural and urban, the religious and educational institutions that dotted the landscape, the county's longstanding military traditions at Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base, and most importantly, the people who made this county, from the famous to the everyday citizens.
