Book excerpt: In 1670, Lord Baltimore sent his representative, Col. William Stevens, to claim and develop land in rural Maryland. He established a ferry crossing along the banks of the deep, dark Pocomoke River, and the settlement that would eventually become Pocomoke City was born. Trade flourished; boats filled with lumber, tobacco, and furs sailed on the river to Northern ports, and shipbuilding became a successful enterprise. People flocked to Pocomoke City to work at the lumber mills and in the shipyards, and the little town grew into a small center of commerce with the coming of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1922, a devastating fire destroyed 75 percent of the business section of the town, but the community came together and rebuilt what has been called "the Friendliest Town on the Eastern Shore."

Download or read book Pocomoke on Maryland s Eastern Shore written by Pat Stille Martin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pocomoke on Maryland's Lower Eastern Shore evolved from a green and tranquil land with mild climate, productive soil, and abundant natural resources into a town on the National Register of Historic Places. Pocomoke is minutes from the Ocean City beach resort, the Assateague National Seashore Wildlife Refuge with its wild ponies, and Wallops Island, home of the National Aeronautic and Space Administration, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Much of this volume describes the Pocomoke River, and shipbuilding, the town's leading industry for thirty years. Featured are Skipjacks (oyster boats), majestic sailboats built in Tull's shipyard, and the new Discovery Center with a simulated steamboat similar to boats used for trips to Baltimore in 1869. The volume portrays Pocomoke's African-American heritage, and influential Black citizens. Carol Johnsen selected author, Pat Stille Martin, Professional Counselor, to help her revitalize Pocomoke City. Through eighty-year-old skylights and limestone, Carol and Pat, looked to the past to add fresh insight and perspectives to the traditions, culture, and events of Pocomoke City. Carol and Pat hope that this nostalgic history will inspire residents to participate in the revitalization of their town and allow visitors to experience the local arts, events, and traditions of Pocomoke, complete with directions to a great meal of local foods with the special character and hospitality of the region. "Martin researched museums and libraries from Connecticut to Florida combining memories of Pocomoke visitors and citizens to recreate the early days of a thriving seaport and shipbuilding community on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Not until Martin's research did I appreciate all that went into revitalizing the charming and commercially successful seaport into a delightful historic town."

Download or read book The Silent Shore written by Charles L. Chavis Jr. and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive account of the lynching of twenty-three-year-old Matthew Williams in Maryland, the subsequent investigation, and the legacy of "modern-day" lynchings. On December 4, 1931, a mob of white men in Salisbury, Maryland, lynched and set ablaze a twenty-three-year-old Black man named Matthew Williams. His gruesome murder was part of a wave of silent white terrorism in the wake of the stock market crash of 1929, which exposed Black laborers to white rage in response to economic anxieties. For nearly a century, the lynching of Matthew Williams has lived in the shadows of the more well-known incidents of racial terror in the deep South, haunting both the Eastern Shore and the state of Maryland as a whole. In The Silent Shore, author Charles L. Chavis Jr. draws on his discovery of previously unreleased investigative documents to meticulously reconstruct the full story of one of the last lynchings in Maryland. Bringing the painful truth of anti-Black violence to light, Chavis breaks the silence that surrounded Williams's death. Though Maryland lacked the notoriety for racial violence of Alabama or Mississippi, he writes, it nonetheless was the site of at least 40 spectacle lynchings after the abolition of slavery in 1864. Families of lynching victims rarely obtained any form of actual justice, but Williams's death would have a curious afterlife: Maryland's politically ambitious governor Albert C. Ritchie would, in an attempt to position himself as a viable challenger to FDR, become one of the first governors in the United States to investigate the lynching death of a Black person. Ritchie tasked Patsy Johnson, a member of the Pinkerton detective agency and a former prizefighter, with going undercover in Salisbury and infiltrating the mob that murdered Williams. Johnson would eventually befriend a young local who admitted to participating in the lynching and who also named several local law enforcement officers as ringleaders. Despite this, a grand jury, after hearing 124 witness statements, declined to indict the perpetrators. But this denial of justice galvanized Governor Ritchie's Interracial Commission, which would become one of the pioneering forces in the early civil rights movement in Maryland. Complicating historical narratives associated with the history of lynching in the city of Salisbury, The Silent Shore explores the immediate and lingering effect of Williams's death on the politics of racism in the United States, the Black community in Salisbury, the broader Eastern Shore, the state of Maryland, and the legacy of "modern-day lynchings."
