Book Synopsis
Now once more revised and updated-and this time fully reorganized-Maryland: A New Guide to the Old Line State emerges as a freshly appealing guidebook for native, newcomer, and visitor alike.

Trade Review
The revised second edition of a work begun by the WPA, this fat guide-book by former Sun writer Earl Arnett, Hopkins history books editor Robert Brugger, and state Archivist Edward Papenfuse includes cultural and historical information for visitors. -- Margaret Guroff Baltimore Magazine A well-written book of crisp and businesslike tours of Maryland... This new version focuses more on the heritage of minorities and women than previously. The authors also include walking tours Maryland communities. Further, there is more than enough Maryland Civil War lore in this volume for contented weekend tourist forays into the lost world of the Blue and Gray. Maryland Historical Magazine
