Paperback. VERY SCARCE IN THE INITIAL PRINTING. The publication from The Maryland Historical Society in 1868 provides the history of George Evelin, who arrived on Kent Island in the Chesapeake Bay in 1636. His uncle was already involved in a trading enterprise on the current Delaware River. Evelin joined the settlement of Captain Claiborne, which at that time was in conflict with the Maryland settlement of Lord Baltimore. While he initially supported Claiborne's community against Governor Calvert of Maryland, mistrust developed on Claiborne's part. Eventually, through power and treachery, Evelin wrested Kent Island from Claiborne. A very interesting early episode in the history of the State of Maryland. 8vo. Very good- in light brown paper wrappers. Rear wrapper is missing and about half of the spine is chipped away. Chipping and soiling to front wrapper. Writing to top edge of front wrapper. Minor damp staining to top of half title page. Small open tear to top edge of rear free end page. Else is clean and bright. 44 pages. MD/021319.…
