The Maryland History and Culture Bibliography
Earle, Swepson. The Chesapeake Bay Country. Baltimore: Thomsen-Ellis Company, 1923.
Notes: Divided into three regions -- southeastern Maryland, Upper Bay, and the Eastern Shore, this work includes a history for each, written by five noted authors, followed by a description of the counties in each, along with places of interest and the people of these places. The histories of the areas places special emphasis on major houses and genealogy of the owners. It is nicely illustrated with contemporary photographs, which nearly 80 years later serve as historic images. There are four pages of interesting photos of African Americans.

Feldman, Gregory, and M. Stephen Ailstock. "Greenbury Point: The Interplay of History and Ecology." Maryland Historical Magazine 90 (Summer 1995): 216-20.
Notes: This author sees a strong connection between history and ecology. He argues that the same environmental factors which drew people to colonize Greenbury Point, the town known as Providence, and were responsible for its early success, also brought about its failure as an economic center.
