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.

Brunner, Raymond J. "Baltimore Organs and Organbuilding in the Nineteenth Century." Tracker 35, no. 2 (1991): 12.
Notes: Well organized and appropriately illustrated, Brunner first summarizes organ-building in Baltimore up to 1850. He then focuses on specific builders James Hall, Henry Berger, August Pomplitz, Charles Strohl, Heilner & Schumacher, Henry Niemann, Adam Stein, and George Barker's Baltimore Organ Co. Drawing on earlier published works by Thomas Eader and John Speller and Orpha Ochse, Brunner's article reveals the competitive sprit felt among various Baltimore congregations, and also the status of this craft in relation to other Eastern seaboard cities.
