Book excerpt: Location, location, location: this catchphrase speaks to a dominant theme in the shaping of Cecil County's history. Cecil County is at the head of the Chesapeake Bay, with rivers defining two boundaries and the famous Mason-Dixon Line delineating the northern and eastern boundaries. Close to major cities and known as the most rural county along the northeast corridor of I-95, Cecil has held on to its agricultural heritage while at the same time accommodating the flow of trade, tourists, recreational visitors, dignitaries, military supplies, armies, the navy, and romantic couples ready to be married. The county has added its own agricultural products, natural resources, industrial goods, and citizens to the flow of traffic on the county's historic waterways and highways. Separated from Baltimore County in 1674, Cecil was a few decades from celebrating its bicentennial when the first itinerant photographer unpacked his equipment at the courthouse and began the process of preserving the county's history through images.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virgin forests dominated the landscape when white settlers first explored the land now known as Cecil County. The only trails within the thick vegetation were thin Native American paths known only to the native people. The best way for settlers to travel the new land was by water. Soon after the pioneers arrived, trading posts and crude lodges were built near the shore. Ferries were then constructed to transport travelers across streams, and inns and taverns were built to service the weary wayfarers. Civilization and commerce evolved at ferry and shipping centers throughout the county. Beginning with Capt. John Smith’s original exploration of the Chesapeake Bay in 1608, Cecil County has developed and maintained a cultural connection with its five main rivers and a large canal. Where mills, factories, waterfowl, and fisheries once provided sustenance for the county’s residents, today recreational boating, fishing, and nature tourism bring jobs and entertainment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While a freshman attending Loyola High School, my mother, who was then a Professor at Towson University grounded me for a "minor" transgression, to be paroled only after I had finished reading the Novel "Chesapeake" by James A. Mitchner (Random House, 1978). I was immediately and magically transported to Maryland's Eastern Shore (yes always was a capital "E" and a capital "S"), circa 1650. The novel richly illustrates the lives and relationships between the family of the Susquehannock Indian, Pentaquod, who fled his war-like northern tribe for more peaceful times down the Susquehanna River and into the Chesapeake Bay and the Roman Catholic Steed family, the Quaker Paxton family, and the waterman Turlock family. This novel instilled in me a love of history that has been reflected in my legal career and in my several collecting interests. Moreover, Mitchner's novel allowed me to understand from where I came and how my family got to where they are today. In the summer of 1979, I was certainly not aware that I was descended from the Piscataway Indian Princess Kittamaquund and those earliest of Maryland families who arrived at St. Clement's on the Arc and Dove in 1634. I firmly believe that my personality and character are much in line with the native people of Maryland's Eastern Shore, as much as the Steeds, Paxtons and Turlock families. And although unfortunately Maryland Society is not quite as refined as it was before the War Between the States, I am still proud to be a Marylander. In this book about Charles Town in Cecil County, I present my attempt to add to the history of the Chesapeake Bay, certainly not to the extent that Mr. Mitchner accomplished, but rather in my own way of helping to preserve its history through the wonderful art of decoy carving. I hope you enjoy viewing this book as much as I loved producing it. My next project, entitled The Maryland Line, a Pictural History of Images and Artifacts, will be available soon.

In 1900, he was elected bishop, first serving in South African and later in the American South, Midwest, and in Canada. A concluding chapter concerns his personal life including his second marraige to Fanny Jackson Coppin (1837-1913), a long-time educator at Philadelphia's Institute for Colored Youth."--Description from Ian Brabner Rare Americana.
