Saloons, etc. mentioned in the article:
In 1860 there were five distilleries in the "Glades" (Oakland) region of
Allegany County. The last of these was located northeast of Oakland where
the Old Deer Park Road crosses Wilson Creek.
By the turn of the century one was distillery was still operating in Garrett
County. It was the Melchoir Miller distillery at Accident.
A number of bars existed. By 1900 there were seven license holders in
Oakland; and by 1905 the number increased to nine licensed saloons in
Oakland and seventeen more elsewhere in the county.
