A Robert G. Merrick Edition Endorsed by the Maryland Heritage Committee and supported by the Maryland Humanities Councils "More than a new collection of old photographs, this is a peek into the souls of our great-grandparents." -- Washington Post Magazine "There is a haunting intimacy to the images on these pages, a stark connection with the past that is nothing short of fascinating... The book is sure to hold an interest for lifelong Marylanders, but also offers intriguing looks at life that newcomers can appreciate. Each of the four geographical chapters includes a detailed map so make-believe Sunday drivers can orient themselves on their tour." -- Baltimore Sun "This fascinating book is a definitive photographic portrait of Maryland from 1840 to 1940. It is a splendid collection of 550 vintage photographs of how we were... A charming photographic history of the State and its people presented on a scale we haven't seen until now." -- Maryland Magazine "Don't miss this book!" -- Chesapeake Bay Magazine "Covers a century of extraordinary change, from the time photography was invented to the year before a global war altered the world forever... Mame Warren's clear and frequently clever captions identify the time, place and people of every photo in the book's 600 pictures culled from thousands more that award-winning photographer Marion Warren collected all over the state." -- Annapolis Sunday Capital Used Book in Good Condition
