Book Description
Excerpt from The Rocks of Deer Creek: Harford County, Maryland; Their Legends and History My residence is about a mile, as the bird flies, from the celebrated Rocks of Deer Creek. I first saw this great natural curiosity in the Spring of 1844. I was then young, and did not dream that my advanced years would be passed almost under its shadows. But He who appoints the bounds of our habitations has so ordered. To-day I occupy the place which I have named, for peculiar reasons, "Shirley, near the Rocks." Since I have lived in this locality I have been observant of much apparent interest in the Rocks, and have read numerous compositions, both in prose and poetry, descriptive of them. These were generally the essays of the young, inspired by the beauties and sublimities of the scenes around them. Of the objects seen, none have excited more interest than the King and Queen Seats. Who made them? - for what purpose were they used? - have been frequent enquiries. These interrogatories suggested the writing of "The Last King and Queen of the Rocks of Deer Creek." Having done so for the instruction and entertainment of the young people especially, it occurred to me that a series of sketches, mingling fact with fancy, might give them pleasure, and, perhaps, be of some profit to them. These I have written, and they are to be found in this small and unpretentious volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
"For the first time, a panoramic survey of Maryland building from the founding of the Colony through 230-odd years, until the end of the Civil War in 1865, has been written in book form. The author has presented a concise history of the vast subject, stressing the various architectural styles, such as Early Georgian, Late Georgian, Maryland-German and Classical Revival, and also giving some account of their development and sources. Style has been termed 'the essential accomplishment of a culture, and the sum of its actuality.'" -- Book jacket.
