Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Governors of Maryland: From the Revolution to the Year 1908 One distinction, at least, must be given this work among the historical volumes dealing with Maryland subjects; its author purposely refrains from naming in his preface those who aided him in his work; he also willfully neglects to supply a list of his authorities. Ungrateful, indeed, would be the author were he here to print the names of those kindly persons who have made easy his search for data, since by so doing he would invite other writers to impose upon their kindness. As to sources - too often the historical writer is tempted to copy a page or two or three of some bibliography and ofier it as his authorities. But the writer of this work will not hold any other author or any book responsible for his statements or misstatements, for he has drawn his data not only from books, but newspapers, legislative journals, letters, private diaries, his own imagina tion and, in a few isolated cases, the gossip of old women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men of Mark in Maryland, Vol. 1: Biographies of Leading Men in the State; With an Introductory Chapter on Maryland, Proprietary Province and State This province was situated on the Atlantic seacoast, and the State that has grown from it comprises some square miles, of which about a fourth is covered by the Chesapeake Bay and its estuaries. The territory consists of a most varied country in its geologic history, and in its climate. From the flat coastal plain of the lower Eastern Shore to the lofty mountains of the extreme west of the State, is found a great variety of soil and products. The coastal plain rises into the Piedmont region and the western counties are crossed by the parallel ranges of the Appalachian system. The waters of the Bay teem with oysters, crabs and fish, and over these waters fly large flocks of wild fowl. The same waters furnish great highways of commerce for all the eastern part of the State. Toward the west the land rises; good water power is found in the streams, and the mountains abound in veins of coal and iron. The climate is neither so severe as in the New England States, nor so enervating as in the far south. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Maryland Fighters in the Great War Classic Reprint written by Raymond Sidney Tompkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Fighters in the Great War In sending Raymond S. Tompkins to France as its stafi correspondent, the purpose of The Sun was to establish him as a connecting link between the Maryland Men over there and the Maryland men and women back here. It did this not only because of the big news value of having its own man with its own people, but because it appreciated the vital im portance to those left behind of having someone with those boys, changed with the duty of sending back home the story of what befell them on French soil. Had this not been done, Maryland, to-day, would still not have known the history of the flower of the State's manhood that went to France. It would have had no connected account of the lives and doings of their sons over there by an eye-witness. The correspondent of The Sun was the only newspaper man with the Maryland forces in France. He lived with them both in the training camps and at the front. He was with them when they went into action and on the march. He saw them fight and he saw them die, and he is the only man in a position to really write their story - the story of the soldiers of Maryland and their part in the war. Through the columns of The Sun and The Evening Sun, in a series of more than 100 letters and cables from France, he kept the Maryland people in touch with the men of Maryland in France. In this book he has assembled and presents in con secutive and narrative form the history of the Maryland units that went over there. It is a thrilling story, graphically and truthfully told.

Download or read book Third Address to the People of Maryland Classic Reprint written by William H. Collins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Third Address to the People of Maryland If the South were asked whether she is willing to continue in the Union on any terms, what would be her answer? If that answer be, No, then it is for the manhood of the faithful sons of the Country, to maintain, against all comers, the National Flag and the National Union. It is lawful, it is honorable, to strike even a brother, if it be in defence of a mother. Utterly as I abhor civil war, I abhor disunion more. To divide our imperial domain for the sake of peace, would be a national weakness. It would be to shed rivers of blood in the future to save rivulets now. So long as the answer of the South to the question proposed is, N o, the arbitrament of arms can only solve the issue. But if our brethren of the South - for I still regard and love them as such - in answer to the question will say, Yes, then the whole phase is changed. That answer would be received with tears and embraces. The heart of the country would again beat in its old healthful tone - and the cry of the Nation would be, Let a Convention be called in conformity with the provisions of the Constitution. Let the best and wisest National men be elected as members of that august council, and let such amendments be proposed for the sanction of the States of the Union as will bind our people once more in the enduring bonds of brotherhood and peace. Various propositions have been made, based upon such amendments of the Constitution as would be satisfactory to the Country. And yet it has seemed to me that deeper cautery is needed to cure the national ulcer at its root. May I then humbly venture to indicate amendments to the Constitution.

Download or read book Descriptions of Maryland Classic Reprint written by Bernard C. Steiner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptions of Maryland From the time when Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon sailed to America and entered the Chesapeake Bay, many travellers have entered the territory now embraced in the State of Maryland and have written accounts of what they found there. Other descriptions of the State or of parts of it have been written to serve as guide - books to strangers. Still other descriptions, more or less imaginary in character, are found in the pages of works of fiction. It seemed a task worthy of performance to gather together the references to the State found in works in the classes above named and to prepare a chronological bibliography of the descriptions of Maryland. No claim for completeness is made for the list of books; but, at the least, it forms a good working basis for the student. To several classes of investigators the list should prove of use: the man interested in the State's history, the chronicler of local conditions, the student of the manners and customs of the people at any given epoch, and the biographer who may find references to the man whose life he is studying. Most of the books included in the list are contained in the valuable collections of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, and the preparation of the monograph has been possible only because of the cordial co-operation and painstaking care of Miss Anna M. Doerksen, Superintendent of Circulation in that institution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-12-06 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the Civil, Social and Ecclesiastical History of Early Maryland: Lectures Delivered to the Young Men of the Agricultural College of Maryland In a very marked degree Maryland history has suffered at the hands of its friends. Desiring to be just, and often truly enthusiastic, they have viewed its course in the direct light of their own prejudices, and the consequence has been a perverted, incomplete, unphilosophical presentation. For Maryland history is many-sided, having, in its course, involved many ques tions of very diverse kinds, -ecclesiastical, civil, social, political, military. Starting in a small, unique colony, with peculiar institutions created by a charter, itself the outcome of political notions that were fast losing their hold on the popular mind, it had to fight its way, often in weakness, through those institutions up into larger and truer ideas of human liberty. Fight its way; for there was always a sufficient number of conservative men, who held by what was old, to make the efforts of the liberal majority difficult, and to necessitate years of effort before success could crown their endeavors. And this contest went on in all the departments of life, political, civil, social and ecclesiastical; in the last as eminently as in any other; for ecclesiastical affairs be longed as much to the political life of a people then as civil or social affairs did, and probably excited always far more of prejudice and passion than either of them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas Family of Talbot County, Maryland and Allied Families It is almost impossible not to have a laudable desire to know something of the departed, and curiosity about our progenitors seems quite natural. It gives one pleasure and delight to con template the names and deeds, the struggles and services of those whose blood circulates through our veins. If they were ennobled, or were honored in any way above their fellows, it was because they were entitled to some distinction, for having led useful and honorable lives and had left their impress upon the history of their times. Their lives, therefore, are more interesting and instructive to us because they had accomplished something in the drama of life. There is inspiration in a well spent life, and there is poetry in a ruined abbey or a crumbling castle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
