Sinossi
Excerpt from Maryland's Colonial Eastern Shore: Historical Sketches of Counties and of Some Notable Structures, Illustrated
The principal reasons for my determination to publish this book are as follows: First: There seems to be a demand for a publication of this character. Because the average Marylander is unfamiliar with the geography and history of this part of his State. This applies to residents of the tidewater as well as of the interior sections of Maryland. While residents of each county are more or less familiar with the geography and history of their particular county. Their knowledge of other counties is often very limited. And it is hoped that this book will be of use and permanent value to those who are interested in these subjects.
Second: To interest all Eastern Shoremen and the general public in old land marks of the State that are fast disappearing with the march of time. The early settlers received grants to tracts of land from the proprietary government of the Calverts and built their homes along the banks of the Chesapeake and its tribu taries. Their descendants inherited these properties, usually subdivided among large families. And built other houses. A chain of these colonial homes is found inall the counties and they form connecting links in the family histories. With their passing and the loss of family records f uture genealogical research will be made dif ficult. And in some cases impossible.
