This would be a great book for anyone looking to tour or spend time in the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. It is full of photos and information that is easy to read and digest, and broken down into categories the reader will find useful. With information about Maryland’s foundations and origins and great information about locals, eateries, locations, and history, it is a good read for anyone who plans on being in the area. You can see the attention to detail by author William B. Cronin and how much time and effort he has put into the development of this book.
Maryland’s history unfolds along the waterways of the Chesapeake Bay, where European exploration, colonization, and commercial development of the Bay’s resources connected the cities, towns, and ports. Blockade running from three different wars brought national conflict to Maryland as the center of the New Republic. With 800 images, this book provides illustrated historic summaries, descriptive maps, and lists of restaurants, lodging, marinas, and local events for use as a convenient and portable reference and travel guide by land or water along the Bay’s Eastern and Western Shores. Armchair historians and day or weekend travelers can discover the rich history, classic architecture, local ferries, and current attractions in 100 towns along the Bay where Maryland’s historical legacy – and its seafood – abound.
