Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book tells the story of two men who played a vital role in the founding of Maryland: George and Cecilius Calvert. George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore, was a prominent figure in English politics during the reigns of James I and Charles I. He served as Secretary of State and was a staunch advocate of the Spanish marriage, a policy that proved unpopular with the English Parliament. He later converted to Catholicism and resigned his position, seeking a new life in the New World. The author skillfully recounts Calvert's attempts to establish a colony in Newfoundland, known as Avalon, before turning his attention to the Chesapeake Bay region. The book then shifts its focus to Cecilius Calvert, who inherited his father's ambitions and ultimately secured the charter for Maryland. The author delves into the intricate details of the charter, which granted Cecilius vast authority and offered a haven for Catholics fleeing persecution in England. The author explores the challenges faced by the first settlers in Maryland, including tensions with the native population and conflict with the Virginia colony. He also examines the complexities of religious toleration in the early days of the colony, highlighting the importance of the Calvert family's commitment to religious freedom. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these two men, whose vision and perseverance helped shape the course of American history. The author's meticulous research and compelling narrative provide a rich understanding of the Calvert family's impact on the founding and development of Maryland. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
