Description

Good evening, I’m Ric Cottom. Welcome to Your Maryland.” Since 2002, when he first delivered his now-classic radio segment on Maryland history, Ric Cottom has narrated hundreds of little-known human interest stories. Collected here are 72 of his favorite on-air pieces, enhanced with beautiful papercut illustrations by Baltimore artist Annie Howe. From accused witches and the murderous career of gunsmith John Dandy through tales of Johnny U and the best game ever played, Your Maryland covers just about four centuries of the Free State’s heroes and scoundrels.

Entertaining listeners of every age whilst sparking their interest previously, Cottom’s beloved Your Maryland is a unique blend of in moderation researched regional history and narrative nonfiction. He deftly emphasizes the human dimension of Maryland’s colorful past: its athletes (two- and four-legged), beautiful spies, brilliant writers, misunderstood pirates, and ghosts. All of that color, suspense, and humor―in addition to the creator’s strange talent for discovering interesting historical facts and personages―is a part of your Maryland.
