Exceptional Depth on the Newspapers of Maryland Eastern Shore

Mr. Preston died shortly before this book was published. It is a shame he is not around to extend a hand of congratulations on an excellent book. The book covers the history of newspapers on the Eastern Shore before the first newspaper was published in Easton in 1790. In the back of the book, he has a section devoted to each county, showing every publication, name changes, a little blurb, and dates the newspapers existed. Mr. Preston compiled a list of surviving issues of each newspaper shortly before the book was published, but I would recommend going to the Maryland State Archives website and checking with other repositories since more issues have been discovered after Mr. Preston's exhaustive search in the 1980s.
