Review:

"Beautifully illustrated with maps, tables, graphs, photographs and drawings... Should serve as a handy quick-reference book in offices and libraries. The index is excellent... Anyone interested in what's happened in the state over the centuries should find it worth reading."

(Annapolis Capital)

"A well-written state history... The book sharply focuses on politics; and black history has not been slighted in the discussion of the Free State’s cultural heritage... The bibliography is a reference-seeker’s delight."

(Maryland Magazine)
