This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work lists occupants, owners, types and dimensions of buildings, tract names, acreage, and number of slaves. It helps replace the nonexistent 1800 census of Baltimore County. It includes the 1804 tax list for precincts surrounding Baltimore City. Early in July 1798, Congress passed a law which came to be known as the "window tax." Commissioners in each state were to divide the states into districts, and collect data on the valuation of lands and dwelling houses and the counting of the slaves. For dwelling houses the commissioners were to specify their situation, their number of stories, the number and dimensions of the windows (hence the nickname), and the materials of which the houses were built. When the commissioners for Maryland had completed their task they had compiled a three part record series. The second part of the list was a "Particular Assessment List" giving dimensions of dwellings, outbuildings, and land as of October 1, 1798. This volume contains the information found in the second part of the tax list, for Baltimore County (exclusive of Baltimore Town), plus the information for the three hundreds in Frederick County that later made up Carroll County. In addition, names from the "precincts" surrounding Baltimore Town were garnered from an 1804 tax list. In some cases when the Particular list was missing, names were drawn from the General list.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the lives of the enslaved at the historic site of Mount Clare Enslaved African Americans helped transform the United States economy, culture, and history. Yet these individuals' identities, activities, and sometimes their very existence are often all but expunged from historically preserved plantations and house museums. Reluctant to show and interpret the homes and lives of the enslaved, many sites have never shared the stories of the African Americans who once lived and worked on their land. One such site is Mount Clare near Baltimore, Maryland, where Teresa Moyer pulls no punches in her critique of racism in historic preservation. In her balanced discussion, Moyer examines the inextricably entangled lives of the enslaved, free Black people, and white landowners. Her work draws on evidence from archaeology, history, geology, and other fields to explore the ways that white privilege continues to obscure the contributions of Black people at Mount Clare. She demonstrates that a landscape's post-emancipation history can make a powerful statement about Black heritage. Ultimately she argues that the inclusion of enslaved persons in the history of these sites would honor these "ancestors of worthy life," make the social good of public history available to African Americans, and address systemic racism in America.
