Description
It was a quiet day on the National Road when two families paused for Leo Beachy's camera on Negro Mountain, the highest point on the road in Maryland. When Colonel Thomas Cresap and his troops fought a skirmish with a band of Indians on this spot during the French and Indian War, a giant black soldier named Nemesis was killed and buried here, and the mountain was dedicated to his memory.
