Product Description
Having long since nearly exhausted sources of information relative to his immediate family, and having now lived in Montgomery County for nearly sixty years, Mr. Hurley turned to the study of the older families of the county, first toward those with whom he had distant family ties, and later to the more important older groups that had not been thoroughly studied. Mr. Hurley’s research led to the popular Our Maryland Heritage series, which grew to more than forty individual books. Volume one of this new series includes a collection of various Montgomery County families of importance: Aud, Ball, Barber, Barnsley, Bennett, Bodmer, and Case. A bibliography and a full name index add to the value of this work. ... Read more

Product Description
Before the Bay Bridge made access to the Atlantic easier, the Chesapeake Bay was dotted with beach-type resorts. Located in Calvert County, Maryland, Chesapeake Beach and neighboring North Beach were two of the most popular. Chesapeake Beach, the resort, officially opened on June 9, 1900 when visitors from Washington, D.C., stepped from the coaches of a brand new railroad specifically built to transport them there. Likewise, steamboat service from Baltimore to the resort was inaugurated the same day. The resort's success fueled the rise of North Beach, and the two destinations were popular with Washington and Baltimore residents for many years to come. Here is the story of their halcyon days as summertime resorts of the bay. More than 230 vintage postcards and other memorabilia recall early, happy times there. ... Read more

Muffled Drums and Mustard Spoons
It's great! It tells a Civil War story of my Great-Great Grand-father and
Great-Great Grand-mother (William and Sophia Jeffries). Jerre Garrett did a wonderful job in researching and telling the story of how the Civil War affected so many lives.

The Civil War in the northern-most county of a border state
This book provides an insightful and detailed look at how life unfolded in the northern-most county of the northern-most broder state, Maryland, during the years of the Civil War. For those interested in the War or Maryland history, this book does an excellent job.You can see precisely how the war affected residents in this rural, slave-holding county and how, eventually, citizens recovered from the war. It's an unusual view (the local perspective in a unique region of the country, one with southern & northern ties), in an area where there are many books -- the civil war. ... Read more
