Maryland By It's Historic Markers

The authors do a great job of recording and illustrating Maryland through it's historic markers.I suspect all states have markers. Most do not know where they all are or present them in any coherent form. This book remedies that situation for the state of Maryland. The book will serve as a snapshot of Maryland's rich history through a geogrpahically based capsule of what happened in each county. It also serves as a wonderful tour guide for any inclined to undertake history and event based touring.The book is richly illustrated with first class photographs. (One of the annual lighting of Anteitam Battlefield is brilliant -- I called to get information for a visit). The synopses of each marker and event give a good sketch of what happened where.By the way, the same authors have been commissioned to do a photographic history of Delaware throught its historic markers (due out in the Fall of 2001). Anyone interested in a small state that packs a lot of history will enjoy that work.
