Eddis, William. Letters from America. Edited by Aubrey C. Land. Cambridge: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1969.
Notes: William Eddis (1738-1825) was an official in Maryland on the eve of the Revolution. His letters provide a first hand account of his impressions as the British colonies lurched toward severing their ties with the home country. Eddis was in a position to observe events at the highest levels of government and his letters have been an important primary source for scholars. General readers will find this relatively short book an interesting means for understanding the ambivalent feelings many Marylanders felt in the years preceding the final break with England.

Hall, Clayton Colman. Narratives of Early Maryland, 1633-1684. Original Narratives of Early American History. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1910.
Notes: One of the best ways to experience the past is to read the words of those who witnessed the actual events. <em>Narratives of Early Maryland</em> accomplishes this for those interested in knowing about life in Maryland when it was largely an pristine wilderness. The editor, Clayton Colman Hall, includes important descriptions of the Native Americans who greeted the European settlers by a Jesuit priest, Father Andrew White; George Alsop's promotional <em>Character of the Province of Maryland </em>(1666); and other 17th century accounts.

Hoffman, Ronald. Princes of Ireland, Planters of Maryland: A Carroll Saga, 1500 - 1782. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press/Omohundro Institute for Early American History and Culture, 2000.
Notes: Among the signers of the Declaration of Independence, Maryland's Charles Carroll of Carrollton was conspicuously different from most of his colleagues. Fabulously wealthy and Roman Catholic, Carroll was very aware of his family's origins as traditional leaders in their former Irish homeland. Ronald Hoffman skillfully recounts the story of this family's successful struggle to maintain its status in the face of official religious intolerance. In surveying the path that led from Ely O'Carroll in Ireland to the shores of the Chesapeake, Hoffman helps explain why a very conservative family would embrace the cause of revolution.
