Description

This book explores the ironies, contradictions, and compromises that give America's oldest border state its special character. Extensively illustrated and accompanied by maps, charts, and tables, the author provides a vivid account of the state's political, economic, social, and cultural heritage. From the outfitting of Cecil Calvert's expedition to the opening of Baltimore's Harborplace, the descriptions are rich in the issues and personalities that make up Maryland's story and explain its 'middle temperament'.
