Coers, D. V. "New Light on the Composition of Ebenezer Cook's Sot-Weed Factor." American Literature 49 (January 1978): 604-06.
Notes: Coers offers evidence to support the contention that Ebenezer Cook's satire <em>The Sot-Weed Factor</em> was likely written no earlier than 1702, later than the 1695 date previously ascribed. He draws upon internal references in Cook's writing to Queen Anne, not crowned monarch until 1702, and a Dorchester County Court land record to support his case. The later date would suggest that the work was based on his visit to Maryland in the 1690s, but not written until afterwards.

Levering, Patricia W., and Ralph B. Levering. "Women in Relief: The Carroll County Children's Aid Society in the Great Depression." Maryland Historical Magazine 72 (Winter 1977): 534-46.
Notes: Examines how a rural county in Mid-Maryland dealt with the Great Depression in the early 1930s. Before the New Deal and state programs were implemented, responsibility for aid fell to private organizations. The Children's Aid Society, ran by women, helped Carroll Countians survive the Great Depresssion. The authors hypothesize that rural areas with self-help operations endured the depression better and longer that urban areas.
