Berry, David
Maryland's Skipjacks (Images of America)
Publisher: Acadia Publishing, 2008 Charleston, SC.
ISBN: 9780738553634 Book. Book condition: Very Good. Trade paperback 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "Chesapeake is an Algonquian word meaning 'great shellfish bay, ' and for decades, the oyster was the undisputed king of Chesapeake Bay shellfish, Early settlers reported them to be a large as dinner plates, and the reefs or rocks in which they lived were large enough to be hazards to navigation. In 1884, fifteen million bushels of oysters were harvested and shipped around the world. The skipjack was the perfect vessel for sailing into the Chesapeake Bay's shallow waters and dredging for oysters, and each winter, hundreds of these wooden craft set out across the bay's cold waters. The oyster population of the 21st century is a fraction of what it once was, and the skipjacks have disappeared along with them. No long economically viable, the boats have been left to rot in the marshes along the bay. Only 25 boats are still operational, and fewer than five still dredge. Author David Berry, a writer and longtime sailor, has spent many hours volunteering on the skipjack Martha Lewis. He has selected images that capture the simple, elegant functionality of these historic sailing vessels and remind readers that a key part of Maryland's past is disappearing. Numerous efforts are in place to save the remaining skipjacks and to reestablish the oyster in the Chesapeake bay, but the days captured in these photographs are gone forever.. " Profusely illustrated. 128 pages with index. Book is in VERY GOOD condition. Paper wrappers.

Book. Book condition: Good. Trade paperback 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "This Tercentenary Book tells the fascinating story of the Settlement of Maryland 300 years ago, the 'First Colony which was a Success from the very Beginning'. The perilous four months' voyage across the Atlantic in the study ships, The Ark and Dove, 350 and 50 tons each, Calvert's tactful parley with the Indian Emperor, to be allowed 'to sit down in Maryland, ' the Place of beginning at beautiful St. Mary's on the sparkling St. Mary's River - for 60 years the First Capital of Maryland - here the Barter with the Yaocomicos occurred for their Town-Site under the Great White Mulberry, later the Official Sign-Post of the Colony, all this and more is told.

Blair, Carvel Hall and Ansel, Willits Dyer
Chesapeake Bay Notes & Sketches
Publisher: Tidewater Publishers, 1970 Cambridge, MD.
ISBN: 0870331485 Book. Book condition: Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "It is not difficult to imagine how the finest of the world's estuaries, Chesapeake Bay, looked to the first Englishmen who came to settle and use it three hundred and fifty years ago. It is not difficult because many left accurate descriptions and because, most fortunately, Chesapeake Bay remains relatively unspoiled. Many of its creeks and bays still seem remote when one explores them today. The Chesapeake impresses us with its beauty as it impressed those first Europeans who sailed it and wrote of it..The marshes John Smith described and the points he named are still there. The shores are covered with the same kinds of trees; the insects that plagued him are still a nuisance. Most of the birds and fish he noted are still found in the Bay, but not in the numbers he recorded. The animal life on the shore has changed, and the Indians, whose customs and language smith took pains to describe, have almost completely disappeared..After three hundred years of exploiting, the American is forced to face the reality that the resources can be exhausted, the country become crowded, and the beautiful land spoiled. Today the Chesapeake is still beautiful and largely unspoiled, but it is threatened..It is because we share the admiration of Smith and others and because we are concerned for the future of the Chesapeake that we are attempting this description of it, the story of man's use of it, and the factors and conditions that threaten it." Illustrated. viii + 168 pages with index. Book is in GOOD or better condition. No dust jacket.

Bode, Carl
Maryland: A Bicentennial History
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1978 New York.
ISBN: 0393056724 Book. Book condition: Very Good. Very Good. Hardcover Signed by Author(s) 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall SIGNED by author on title page! "In 1634, two small ships, the Ark and the Dove, brought the first English settlers to what would become Maryland. That event is familiar to most Marylanders - and something they won't find in this book. What the reader will discover is a delightful series of characters and episodes that more dramatically illuminates Maryland's historical character. Such vignettes, believes author Carl Bode, tell us much about the variety of the state's experience and what is important in it. For the eighteenth century, we see through the eyes of Daniel Dulany, an ambitious, self-made planter, politician, and colonial gentleman. Severn Teackle Wallis helps us unravel Maryland history in the nineteenth century, while the letters of William and Margaret Preston give a personal glimpse of middle-class life in Victorian America..Today, life in Maryland, as in the rest of the nation, has changed greatly from its colonial beginnings. The new town of Columbia would seem a strange place indeed to Daniel Dulany. Yet, for Marylanders who are aware of their past, life here clearly remains related to it: pleasant and comfortable, but sometimes capricious - something that Dulany would have understood, for sure."

Bodine, A. Aubrey
My Maryland
Publisher: Camera Magazine, 1952 Baltimore, MD.
Book. Book condition: Good. No Jacket. Hardcover 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall This is a photographic essay describing Maryland the way it was seen by A. Aubrey Bodine. " ..The creator of this book is one of these most fortunate of men. Combine the qualities of authentic genius with lifelong love of a chosen work. Add to that a sense of beauty and of drama and excitement. Add to that the rarest of all forms of the imagination - sensitivity. The sum of these is Aubrey Bodine. And this book is the sum of Bodine. It is the summed-up richness of the work of twenty-five years. If you count the pictures in it, you will come to the conclusion that there are one hundred and seventy-four. The number will be correct; but it will also be quite wrong. No set of numerals can express the contents of this book. For what you hold in your hands is the essence of twenty-five thousand photographs - the best of Bodine produced in a quarter of a century.." 128 pages. Book is in GOOD condition. No dust jacket.

Run to the Lee
Publisher: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1988 Baltimore, MD.
ISBN: 0801836778 Book. Book condition: Very Good. Trade paperback 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall "..In Run to the Lee Kenneth Brooks has written of these last days of the sailing freighters on Chesapeake Bay. He has also given the reader a detailed and accurate word picture of an outstanding schooner captain..John Talbott. Most of Run to the Lee is devoted to captain Talbott's battle with a December blizzard as he drove his schooner southward toward the harbor on the Patuxent. This is quite a yarn, and Ken Brooks, who began his won exploration of the Chesapeake country at the tender age of 10 as a cabin boy on the 48-foot yawl Natalie, has written with authenticity and vigor..As a fictionalized account of life on the Chesapeake Bay at the turn of the century, Run to the Lee has the same appeal to all ages as Gilbert Byron's own beloved novel, The Lord's Oysters." 185 pages.

Chew, John H.
God's Judgments Teaching Righteousness. A Sermon Delivered on The National Fast Day, January 4, 1861, in St. Matthew's Parish, Prince George's County, MD.
Publisher: Washington E. A. Waters 1861.
Octavo, Wrappers , 13 pages. Condition: Near Fine.
President James Buchanan declared January 4, 1861 a national day of fasting and prayer in an effort to calm both sides in the brewing secession crisis. This was the earnest sermon preached by Reverend Chew to his flock in Prince George's County, Maryland on that day. He here argues "that it was God who gave to our forefathers the wisdom to construct this government…[and] that though it may occasionally need repairs, those repairs should be made calmly, dispassionately, with circumspection and with caution; and that it is entirely too sacred a fabric to lightly and needlessly destroyed. Certain it is that if it is once destroyed, its place will never again be supplied." Bound in printed paper covers over a saddle-stitched binding. Covers have a few chips along spine and edges, top fore corner of rear cover is chipped away. Regional

Claggett, Laurence G.
Easton (Maryland)
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing, 1999 Charleston, SC.
ISBN: 0738501719 Book. Book condition: Very Good. Trade paperback 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall Images of America series. "In the early part of the 18th century, Talbot County on Maryland's Eastern Shore was re3structured in size and boundary, requiring the designation of a new county seat. Groups from the Wye River to Oxford competed vigorously to have their town win the honor. But the selection committee, with manifest partiality, decided upon the geographical center of the new county; a remote field cultivated and then abandoned by its native residents. Here was born the town that would eventually be known as Easton. Telling the story of the original Talbot Court House, the market, early schools, churches, and businesses, this fascinating visual history documents an era of significant change for the town in the early 20th century. Improved roads and transportation allowed the widespread population of the county to come to town; friends and family members could meet more often, and a sense of community identity began to grow. Avid collector and local history enthusiast Laurence G. Claggett has drawn images from a wonderful personal collection as well as from the community to create this nostalgic and educational look at Easton in an earlier time. This lovingly crafted tribute is sure to win the hearts of both longtime residents and visitors to the area." Well illustrated. 128 pages. Book is in VERY GOOD condition. Paper wrappers.

Publisher: Brice Marden Dorsey, 1974.
Book. Book condition: Good. Soft cover Signed by Author(s) 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall This is a privately written and privately published work of family history. "The genealogical study of the old families of Maryland often reveal certain individuals of outstanding qualities and accomplishments, whose activities are well recorded, whereas the succeeding generation, being overshadowed by their parent, is historically unknown. The life of the Hon. Matthew Tilghman, one of Maryland's foremost statesmen of the Revolutionary period, is well documented and readily available to historians, but what of his children? richard Tilghman IV of Chestertown, the second son, my ancestor, was such an enigma. The first son died young and Richard was the eldest to reach maturity. What were his interests and accomplishments, what part did he play in the development during and after the Revolutionary period? This presentation is an effort to gather together the scattered records of the life of Richard Tilghman IV of Chestertown and document them for his descendants. I claim no originality in this work, as I have used freely existing material; wills, portraits, photographs, newspapers, book illustrations, etc., of which sources are credited.."

Earle, Swepson
The Chesapeake Bay Country
Publisher: Thomsen-Ellis Company Publishers, 1923 Baltimore, MD.
Book. Book condition: Good. No Jacket. Hardcover "In collecting the material for this book and preparing it for publication, I have had a three-fold inspiration. First has been the desire to put into available form the information about the Chesapeake Bay Country, and to make its interest and beauty more accessible. Even in Maryland and Virginia only a comparatively few people know about it, because much of it is off the main roads and out of the beaten paths. Second, I saw in my travels in every part of this region that historical and picture material must be gathered and preserved or it would be lost forever. Third, I think it very desirable that the attention of present and future generations be called to the thousands of acres of fertile lands with picturesque building sites awaiting the coming of those who wish to find homes in this delightful part of our country. Over all the Bay Country we find hovering the spirit of a glorious past and the charm of a wonderful hospitality, and surely it is not too much to expect that in the days to come this fortunate land will move into a finer destiny than it has ever known. It will, it seems to me, be more than ever the home of splendid American homes. Our book tells of the Bay Country. It has only slight reference to the cities, which have their own books. This plan was followed because it is the rural section with which our story has to do..the shore line of this great Bay Country covers between four and five thousand miles and the various sections are known under designated names. These have been divided into five regions known as: Western Tidewater Virginia; Upper Bay Counties; Southern Maryland; Eastern Shore of Maryland; Eastern Shore of Virginia. Each of these five divisions has a separate history.." Illustrated with approximately 200 photographs on black-and-white photographic plates; color frontispiece; fold-out map of the region in color. 510 pages with index. Book is in GOOD condition. No dust jacket.

You will mable through the gardens, down woodland walks, into lush rose gardens, along wild shorelines and marshes, through old-fashioned restored gardens inside brick walls, into vast wildflower meadows - and see everywhere the graceful curves and twists of the shore and its rivers: the Chester, Miles, and Wye; the Tred Avon, Wicomico and Pocomoke. You will visit such historic places as Oxford, Chestertown, Easton, and Whitehven in maryland, Cheriton, Eastville, Accomac, and Onancock in Virginia. The houses range from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century brick structures in the north to frame with brick ends in the south; from historic townhouses and grand plantations that front on the rivers to contemporary retreats tucked into secluded coves.." x + 278 pages.
