Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. xiii, 422 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm OCLC 2654287 LCCN 76151566 LC F187.M7 H53 Dewey 975.284 ; pictorial stiff paper wrappers ; a comprehensive narrative history of the county, originally published in 1976. The book A Grateful Remembrance: The Story of Montgomery County. details the area's development over its first two centuries, acting as a localized mirror of broader American history. Written by historian Dr. Richard K. MacMaster with research assistance from Dr. Ray Eldon Hiebert, Jane C. Sween, and Janet Manuel. The county is named after General Richard Montgomery, who died in the American Revolution. The Continental Congress ordered a monument to him inscribed as "a grateful remembrance," making Montgomery County the first place to bear his name. The text bridges the gap between rural, rolling Maryland farmlands and its ultimate evolution into a highly populated, bustling suburb just north of the nation's capital. n 1973, the Montgomery County government (both County Executive and County Council) formed the "Montgomery County History Project" with two goals to complete ahead of the upcoming Bicentennial: to locate and inventory the historical records of Montgomery County and to produce a written history of Montgomery County. Shortly afterwards, Montgomery History's Jane C. Sween and Janet Manuel compiled a published inventory of Montgomery County's records and Dr. Richard K. MacMaster was engaged to research and author Montgomery County's history.* Later, Dr. Ray Eldon Hiebert was contracted to assist with preparation of the final manuscript. Together, they produced A Grateful Remembrance: the Story of Montgomery County, Maryland, published in 1976, which was the county's first attempt at creating a comprehensive narrative history. Though progressive and thorough for the time (especially considering the then-fairly-recent accounting of the existence of extant Montgomery County records), the book is also a product of its time and has become outdated in many ways. In addition to the 50 more years of history that have transpired since the book's publication, it failed to fully address many crucial aspects of Montgomery County's growth and development, particularly as it pertains to the contributions and stories of traditionally underrepresented groups such as indigenous people, those who were enslaved, African Americans post-emancipation, immigrants, young people, and others. In the forward to the first edition, County Executive James P. Gleason wrote: "A word of caution to the reader: a history is never complete. One hundred years from now, and perhaps sooner, another and up-to-date account of this county is certain to be published. Some events of the distant and recent past as found in this book will be more fully understood then and, with the advantage of the passing of time, may be perceived altogether differently. So be it." the original text of A Grateful Remembrance here for reference and research, as the book is currently out of print. ; FINE. Book.
