Strain, Paula M. The Blue Hills of Maryland: History Along the Appalachian Trail on South Mountain and the Catoctins. Vienna, VA: Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, 1993.
Notes: Strain states that the Maryland portion of the Appalachian Trail has more history than any other part of the path. She presents this history as one would encounter it along the trail, heading north from Harpers Ferry to Pennsylvania. A great deal of this history relates to the Civil War. She also tells the history of the Trail itself.

Warner, Nancy M., Ralph B. Levering, and Margaret Taylor Woltz. Carroll County, Maryland: A History 1837-1976. Westminster, MD: Carroll County Bicentennial Committee, 1976.
Notes: The authors of this county history concentrated on the daily life, not on the political development of the towns or biographical sketches of prominent people. They dealt with the schools, the organizations, the newspapers, how people obtain health care, and the influences of the national wars and the Great Depression on the County. A great deal of emphasis is placed on the twentieth century.
