Seeds of a Nation - Maryland

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0737714476, Library Binding)

Before Europeans set foot on the land that became Maryland, Native Americans enjoyed the region's rich natural resources. The calm waterways, mild weather, and abundant wildlife proved irresistible to English colonists. But the colonists who settled Maryland sought more than a pleasant landscape and ample food. They also sought to create a place where they could enjoy religious freedom. Maryland remained faithful to this goal, and its citizens contributed importantly to the emerging United States.
