The Best, Most Complete Book on Maryland and its History!

This is easily the best, most comprehensive book on Maryland and its history I have seen and read. It provides so much badly needed information for people of all ages, and is great for students. The Chronology is wonderful, and its areas on Maryland's founding, and the various wars is most interesting. It has tons of information on all of Maryland's counties, the hundreds of historical areas, maps, photos, seals, and so much more. If anyone is looking for the one book to own on Maryland and its history, this is the one! I highly recommend it.

The Best Book I have seen on Maryland History!

When I first read Maryland The Seventh State A History, when it was first published, it became increasingly obvious that it filled a long standing gap, in that there was no previous book that covered Maryland and its twenty-three counties and Baltimore City, to the extent that this book does. With this newer fourth edition,the author has expanded the information to further enhance it with a more in-depth look at all aspects of Maryland and its history. There are wonderful photographs, maps and seals, making the reader wanting to visit the hundreds of historical areas outlined in this edition.This is truly a definitive work for learning all about Maryland. Get this book and learn why Maryland is known as "America In Miniature."

The only comprehensive, definitive history book of Maryland

This new Fourth Edition, 456 page hardback book is written on parchment paper, and is the one book that covers all of Maryland. It contains a complete chronology from 10,000 B.C. to 1998 for Maryland, as well as another chronology on Baltimore City. It covers the Founding of Maryland, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. It has a seperate section on each county and Baltimore City that contains in-depth information on its founding, origin of its name, history; and its map and seal, as well as all the historical places of interest located in the respective county and Baltimore City. Other sections include: United States Postage Stamps that commemorate Maryland; Obsolete Bank Notes (currency) from Maryland banks; Miscellaneous documents from Maryland's Past; Information on all of Maryland's governor's and Lt. governors; All State Symbols & Great Seals, past and present.

This is the one book to have to learn all about Maryland, its history, geography and interrelationships. It also has an interesting section on Maryland's Firsts, (things that happened first in Maryland) as well as general information on Maryland. This would make a great gift for present and former Maryland residents, history buffs, students, teachers - anyone interested in learning all about the State of Maryland. A Beautiful Book, suitable for coffee table display. Its front cover has the Maryland flag in color and the back cover has the obverse and reverse Great Seal in color. This book is highly reccomended.
