Keith, Caroline H. "For Hell and a Brown Mule:" The Biography of Senator Millard E. Tydings. Lanham, MD: Madison Books, 1991.
Notes: Millard Tydings (1890-1961) was a member of both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. A Democrat, he nevertheless clashed with Franklin Roosevelt on several occasions. His career mirrors some of the ambivalence felt by Marylanders in the first half of the 20th century as the challenges of economic depression and world war transformed the state and its conservative, southward-leaning mentality. Reflecting Maryland's distaste for extremism, Tydings was notable for his opposition to Joseph McCarthy's communist witch hunts.

Land, Aubrey C. The Dulanys of Maryland: A Biographical Study of Daniel Dulany, The Elder, and Daniel Dulany, the Younger. Baltimore: Maryland Historical Society, 1955.
Notes: Daniel Dulany, the Elder (1685-1753) and his son Daniel Dulany , the Younger (1722-1797) were central figures in the 18th century political and social landscape of Maryland. The father, who arrived in Maryland in 1703 as an indentured servant, rose to become a wealthy official in the proprietary government. His son extended the family fortune and became a prominent defender of the British government in the debates that preceded the American Revolution. The story of the Dulanys is an important counterpoint to that of the Carrolls and others on the patriot side.

Smith, C. Fraser. William Donald Schaefer: A Political Biography. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1999.
Notes: William Donald Schaefer's long and controversial career in Maryland politics is explored in this biography by <em>Baltimore Sun</em> columnist, C. Fraser Smith. As Mayor, Schaefer presided over an era of change in Baltimore when that city's economic and social dynamism was in turmoil. The successes and continuing problems in Baltimore today still bear the Schaefer imprint. His high profile style of administration continued during two terms as Maryland's Governor where he was less successful in putting his personal stamp on state government.
