Williams, Harold A. Baltimore Afire. Baltimore: Schneidereith & Sons, 1954.
Notes: Baltimore's architecture weathered its severest concerted attack in 1904. While 1,500 downtown buildings were lost, the survivors taught the nation's architects and engineers important lessons about fireproofing and structure--but that is another story. The author, for many years editor of the Baltimore Sunday <em>Sun</em> Magazine, relates the tale of the city's greatest calamity briefly and well.

Barnett, Todd H. "Tobacco, Planters, Tenants, and Slaves: A Portrait of Montgomery County in 1783." Maryland Historical Magazine 89 (Summer 1994): 184-203.
Notes: Using the Maryland State Assessment of 1783, this study evaluates the condition of the Montgomery County community. Montgomery was the western most of Maryland's tobacco counties. This economy left Montgomery with exhausted farmland, as well as a poor, landless, and unstable population. Comparison is made with Frederick where the soil was essentially the same but had not been damaged by tobacco farming.

Notes: Although this Baltimore neighborhood is no longer a mill town, the area's geographic and social isolation has allowed it, in many ways, to preserve its mill town character. It is a largely homogenous community, predominantly working class.
