Little state, lots of history

Maryland's colonial history is well-known by history students, but what happened in that tiny state afterward is just as important. And this slim volume will tell you about it.The "Portrait of America" series is a wonderful introduction for pre-teens to the 50 states and to the places and events that shaped the history of the United States. This "Maryland" installment is particularly good. The book is broken down into sections like "History", "Culture", "Economy" etc., and each section is thoughtfully written and edited. The "History" section is especially good and is very inclusive. This book, as well as the entire "Portrait of America" series, will prove to be a valuable teaching tool to all primary school educators.
