i came across this book some years ago and i have to say it has touched me in a way no other book has. this poor women must frist live threw the pain and guilt of her ex husband shooting himself to death in her own home. then has to go threw the living hell of her only son doing the same a few years later. she goes in to great detail about the guilt she lives with and all of the what ifs. she tells of how she feels her job and boyfriend maybe took up to much of her time. this is a book that all mothers should read ..i still dont know how susan white lived threw this and went on to write other wonderful books god. bless her and her family. this book is so well written i read it in one seating and twice more over the years she tells you all aboyt her sons short life how he would bring her wild flowers his bike raceing the gris he dated and the one who broke his heart. if only someone had come forard and told her of his threats of killing himelf but i myself who as a young gril also tried to kill myself but by the grace of god a stomick pumping and a stay at a wonderful mential hosptail over came and recovered completly .and have become a mother myself of the most wonderful little boy.who i hope has the toos to deal with lifes pain unlike susan son and myself.

When I first read Susan's book ,many years ago, I wondered how she managed to write a book exposing every raw nerve in her body. But I know why...she saw a chance to shine light on the very complex problem of teen suicide and to help people prevent and understand this tragedy. As far as I am concerned every young person and parent should read this book...it is well written and deals with this problem in a very human and honest way. The lady shows great courage in letting the world see her pain so maybe insight can be gained.

Susan's book about her son's suicide is a must read for all parents. It is heart breaking, but in her intensely personal story, she reaches out to help others understand what so many of us do not know. What you find out reading this book could save your child from possible self destruction. As a mother of three sons, I have read this book several times, and learn something about this courageous woman and her family each time. The untimely death of her son touched me deeply, and I feel some of her pain. As I said, it is a must read for parents, and I am pleased to see it available again.

I have read two guides to Baltimore, this one being the much better of the two. Several differences between the two guides, the most striking being that this has a much more positive take on Charm City, and expresses the importance of the people as well as the attractions. After reading this book I was prepared for the fact that Baltimore people are very friendly, like to talk' and expect you to talk to them, whether you are in their store just looking around, or walking past them on the street as they sit out front on the marble steps. And really you should take the time to do it; people are interesting.
This book is $2.00 more and 150 pages longer that the City Smart guide, and well worth the extra money. If you are going to Baltimore, this is the book.

This is a great book for out of towners and also the residents of Baltimore. It really gives you a good out look of the city.

Baltimore has been needing this book for along time! Whether you're visiting or you live in the area (because when visitors come you can never think of where to take them!) this guide has it all. This really is the "insiders" guide, with all the information only a local would know, it even has info on neighborhoods to visit! Baltimore is such a great place to discover, make sure you take this with you and won't miss a thing!

When I first read Maryland The Seventh State A History, when it was first published, it became increasingly obvious that it filled a long standing gap, in that there was no previous book that covered Maryland and its twenty-three counties and Baltimore City, to the extent that this book does. With this newer fourth edition,the author has expanded the information to further enhance it with a more in-depth look at all aspects of Maryland and its history. There are wonderful photographs, maps and seals, making the reader wanting to visit the hundreds of historical areas outlined in this edition.This is truly a definitive work for learning all about Maryland. Get this book and learn why Maryland is known as "America In Miniature."

This is easily the best, most comprehensive book on Maryland and its history I have seen and read. It provides so much badly needed information for people of all ages, and is great for students. The Chronology is wonderful, and its areas on Maryland's founding, and the various wars is most interesting. It has tons of information on all of Maryland's counties, the hundreds of historical areas, maps, photos, seals, and so much more. If anyone is looking for the one book to own on Maryland and its history, this is the one! I highly recommend it.

This new Fourth Edition, 456 page hardback book is written on parchment paper, and is the one book that covers all of Maryland. It contains a complete chronology from 10,000 B.C. to 1998 for Maryland, as well as another chronology on Baltimore City. It covers the Founding of Maryland, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. It has a seperate section on each county and Baltimore City that contains in-depth information on its founding, origin of its name, history; and its map and seal, as well as all the historical places of interest located in the respective county and Baltimore City. Other sections include: United States Postage Stamps that commemorate Maryland; Obsolete Bank Notes (currency) from Maryland banks; Miscellaneous documents from Maryland's Past; Information on all of Maryland's governor's and Lt. governors; All State Symbols & Great Seals, past and present. Biographies of all the Lords Baltimore as well as other persons famous to Maryland and its history. Many photographs, line art, complete index and more! Completely up-dated to 1998. This is the one book to have to learn all about Maryland, its history, geography and interrelationships. It also has an interesting section on Maryland's Firsts, (things that happened first in Maryland) as well as general information on Maryland. This would make a great gift for present and former Maryland residents, history buffs, students, teachers - anyone interested in learning all about the State of Maryland. A Beautiful Book, suitable for coffee table display. Its front cover has the Maryland flag in color and the back cover has the obverse and reverse Great Seal in color. This book is highly reccomended.

Whow ! By far the best photographic portrait of the Eastern Shore of Maryland I have ever seen, Just loved it.

This is by far the best photographic portrait of the Eastern Shore of Maryland ever published. It was just breathtaking !
The cover shot tells so much of what has made up the history of this quaint outback of Maryland. Anyone with a mind for beautiful photography should include this book for their library.

This book is a charming collection of photographs showing the beauty of the eastern shore of Maryland. As one of the photographers I can tell you that this book shows off the areas local photographers as well as some photographs taken by visitors to our shore. Seeing the Eastern Shore through so many pairs of eyes gives new insight, even to those who have lived here for years. If you love Marylands Eastern Shore you will love this book!

Rebecca, A Maryland Farm Girl is a treasure that should become part of the school cirriculum's required readings. It teaches the children of today about the children of the 1920s-30s, a time they are unfoutunately often oblivious to. This lost knowledge, which is essential for children to understand our country and more importantly their relatives before them, is found in the wonderful tale of the experiences of a school aged girl, Rebecca, and how the world around her shapes the that girl she becomes. This is a book not to be missed! I loved it!

Rebecca grew up long ago, in an America that has now almost vanished - where daughters learn how to run family homes from their mothers; sons learn how to run family farms from their fathers, & electricity hasn't yet reached their roads. In a time when each season brings its own labors, worries & beauties.

Some will think Rebecca's story a sad one, only thinking about the hard life she had of all work & little play. That her childhood was cut short by tragedy. Don't be sad for this enduring, hardworking girl, for she has long since gotten over it, & has thrived & lived a very good life.

While REBECCA, A MARYLAND FARM GIRL may have only 67 pages, it is filled with struggles & victories of a child from another time that will immeasurably enrich your own life.

Rebecca, A Maryland Farm Girl is the true story of a young girl in Maryland in the late 1920's and early 1930's, who, after the death of her mother in a tragic accident, had to labor at grueling farm chores and hike several miles to the school bus. The strain of her daily responsibilities brought about seemingly insurmountable barriers to her education. Very highly recommended for young readers, Rebecca, A Maryland Farm Girl is a poignant and compelling story of struggle and hardship, especially acute for demonstrating the harsh conditions of the past to young people who have grown up in relative comfort and have no idea how hard their grandparents had to fight for the privilege of an education.

This book is must reading for anyone interested in Civil War history or who lives in the areas between Monocacy Junction and Washington, D. C. where this action occurred. The book provides a detailed synopsis of the action and is loaded with details of the local history, much of which remains intact for anyone interested in retracing the course of Early's raid.

Mr. Judge does history a great justice by writing the history of the Invasion of Washington from its inception. He covers the early phase from a confederate defeat at Cloyds Mountain in Pulaski County just south of Blacksburg (VA. Tech), takes you to Lynchburg and Early's arrival and the subsequent journey to Washington D.C. Gives the reader the complete field of study of the campaign. Wonderful description of future Baltimore Police Chief Harry Gilmore who was a colorful confederate calavary leader as well as a vivid description of the hidden valley of the Shennodoah, Fort Valley.

good chronological account of Early's 1864 campaign many interesting side notes to a little studied Confederate actio

This bizarre and seemingly well-documented book discusses the frightening phenomena which plagued a Maryland family for ten years. Ron and Nancy Stallings moved into the impressive old home on Evergreen Avenue thinking it would be the perfect place to raise their large family. Before long annoying knockings in the walls and unexplainable electrical disturbances escalate to sightings of apparitions, ghostly voices,and a most disturbing "partial materialization."

The book is packed with numerous and detailed accounts which would send the sanest person screaming into the night: Two of the Stallings' young daughters complain of a man with a sword who stares out into the night from their bedroom window. An unknown occupant rudely warns neighbors away from the property while the family is on vacation. Nancy's elderly grandmother is awakened late at night by two middle-aged female wraiths, etc., etc.

Financial constraints preclude moving so the Stallings seek to oust the demons with help from the religious community and famed ghost hunter Dr. Hans Holzer. All efforts to evict the unwelcome tenants fail. They finally succeed in selling the house, apparently with the help of the entities,and you don't want to miss the new family's comments.

Nancy Stallings has crafted a real page-turner which is frightening, intriguing, and at times even funny. Also has great photos including two of eerie ghostly hands flipping light switches and reaching for an investigator's clipboard. Some of the incidents reported by the author strain credulity. In addition, the discerning reader may note that as a novice writer Mrs. Stallings overuses some trite phrases ("frozen with fear" is one), but don't let that stop you. This is an entertaining book!

P.S. Many believe (myself included) that such phenomena is inspired by the ultimate evil - never attempt to communicate with it through ouija boards, auto writing, seances, witchcraft spells, etc. Such activity can invite tragic consequences.

I thought this book was very well writen.I found that once I started reading ,I could not put the book down.I believe this to be the interesting and believeable book on this subject yet.If your a NON-BELIEVER [like myself] you have to read " SHOW ME ONE SOUL" and you will start believeing,atleast I did.

This book, since it is a real life experience, is a real eye opener. For those who have any doubt, in hauntings by entities of a bygone era, will be believers after reading Nancy's book. Written in an easy to read manner. After reading this book I will be sure to ask "Is this house haunted?" when purchasing a house.

Each memoir lends a different voice to the song of these student's lives. I learned so much about myself by reading about how each person bravely faced what could have destroyed them,but instead made them stronger in spirit. I was honored to have my painting in the book.

I submitted a the only painting that was published in the book(it opens the section on pregnancy) and i was honored to have my work surrounded by such honest and heartwrenching memories of my those in my generation. This book is truly unique in that it tells the story of people just reaching the threshold of adulthood, and how they reached that point.

Very insightful. This collection showed almost brutal honesty. A worthwhile read for all.

This is one of those rare books that lifts you out of your chair and brings you along on a soaring journey to the natural world beyond the government office windows. It is written as a daily journal of nature explorations in and around Washington, D.C. and makes a perfect companion for any watcher of spring. The author was a keen observer of natural life when he wrote the book in 1945, and the watchful naturalist today will find much to celebrate in the wildlife that is still here today, and also much to mourn that has been lost in the intervening decades. No more do we have rafts of mergansers resting in the Tidal Basin, but Dyke Marsh is still the place to see waterthrushes, and herons still stop by the ponds on the Mall. Halle's eloquent musings on the question of "What is important?" are still relevant today, as the press and government continue to occupy themselves with matters of man-made events and ignore the real news happening all around us--the news of the actual world going about its business completely unconcerned with scandal or finance. Swans still fly south over government office buildings, and anyone who notices and rejoices in such happenings will find a true friend in this marvelous book.

Louis Halle reveals his soul in this evocative love letter to the stirrings of spring. Though set along Rock Creek and the Potomac River in and around Washington, this work will transport you away from this world into another time and place in which the sheer joy of seeing nature burst into color will overwhelm you. Close your eyes and have someone read this book to you and you will be able to smell the tidal waters and hear the wind in the marsh grass. Halle's book is pure pleasure.

This a book from another time which is still relevant to our day and age. The writer takes time from a boring desk job in wartime Washington to provide timeless observations about nature along the Potomac river as he experiences it in early morning bicycle rides. He indirectly puts man in his place and foretells many of the things environmentalists have rediscovered in the last 20 years. Highly recommended in general, but especially if you have any familiarity with the area around Washington, DC.
