Description

Northeast Baltimore has undergone a metamorphosis from a rural area into a “town suburb,” an revel in shared by many identical U.S. metropolitan areas. Now reflecting changes through 2007, Eric L. Holcomb’s up to date edition traces this prototypical process from the region’s origins as a hunting ground of the Susquehannocks, through its earliest settlement by Europeans within the eighteenth century and its idealization as a picturesque landscape all the way through the nineteenth century, to its upward thrust as a suburb within the twentieth century. Holcomb’s obvious passion for the world, combined together with his thorough research in geographic indicators such as land ownership patterns, provide a broad empirical foundation for this richly illustrated history.Distributed for the Center for American Places
