Outstanding

Absolutely top notch history and analysis of a lovable, frustrating, innovative, tempest-tossed city. This is the model for a history of every major city in the country, something we all badly need. -Peter Harnik, Director Center for City Park Excellence Washington, D.C.

Magnificently comprehensive Baltimore history

This is one of the finest and most complete Baltimore history books you well ever encounter in your life. However, it does inadvertently omit one significant fact in the creation of Baltimore. My great-grandfather was a German immigrant named Boston Fear. He was the original creator of Walbrook: Baltimore's very first suburb. Walbrook was originally named Fearville in honor of Boston Fear. I highly recommend that individuals with an interest in the constructive formation of Baltimore purchase a copy of this exquisitely detailed book for your own personal collection.

Awesome

The best and most comprehensive history of Baltimore ever written. Olson is to be commended for her years of research and dedication, and the result is incredible.
