Monocacy National Battlefield. View from Araby farm fields looking west, ca. 1934. Between 1812 and 1832, John McPherson and his son assembled various portions of tracts to create a 1,111-acre property that came to be known as Araby. Brooks Hill is in the left distance, Clifton Farm is in the right distance, and the boundary fence between the two runs through the middle.
