Maryland: A New Guide to the Old Line State

Maryland is not a state many people think of when they consider a travel destination. That, of course, doesn't mean that Maryland isn't dense with cultural, historical, and natural treasures. This book covers all of them in fine detail, with an emphasis on the cultural and historical. It's not a travel guide per se, but more of an historical and cultural survey of the state's towns and institutions. That said, it covers them exhaustively. I lived in Maryland for almost 20 years, in Frederick County, and I've not found a better portrait of that beautiful part of the United States anywhere. Want to know this little, modest border state? Read this book.
