Description:"Harold, why don't we have a good, up-to-date history of Maryland?" asked a prominent state official some years ago of the late Harold R. Manakee, then director of the Maryland Historical Society. Maryland: A History 1632-1974 is an attempt to answer that query. It is a balanced presentation of the state's remarkable past from its colonial period to the end of 1973. Half of the book's ten chapters are devoted to the history of the Old Line State since the Civil War. Such a division is one of the volume's several important contributions. Moreover, the book is unique in the historiography of Maryland because it not only offers a careful political history but also balances and evaluates the economic, social and cultural story of the state's past as well.Realizing that a comprehensive history of this size needed knowledgeable scholars, familiar with the bibliography of their respective periods, the editors sought out people of such competence, each of whom wrote a chapter. The result is not only an updated narrative but a reexamination of Maryland's history of nearly three and half centuries, supplemented by many interesting illustrations. Among the original thirteen states, none has a more fascinating and varied history than Maryland.
