Angebote / Angebote:
Northeast Baltimore has undergone a transformation from a ruralarea into a "city suburb, " an experience shared by many similarU.S. metropolitan areas. Now reflecting changes through 2007, Eric L. Holcomb'supdated edition traces this prototypical process from the region's origins as ahunting ground of the Susquehannocks, through its earliest settlement by Europeansin the eighteenth century and its idealization as a picturesque landscape during thenineteenth century, to its rise as a suburb in the twentieth century. Holcomb'sobvious passion for the area, combined with his thorough research in geographicindicators such as land ownership patterns, provide a broad empirical foundation forthis richly illustrated history.Distributed for the Center for AmericanPlaces
