Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. xi, [1], 32 pages. Frontis. Illustrations. Further Readings. Sources. Statistics. Index. Ex-library with usual library markings. This is one of at least fourteen books by this prolific author who wrote primarily for younger readers. She has written individual biographies of Cal Ripken, Jr., Ken Griffey Jr., Nolan Ryan, Babe Ruth, Nolan Ryan, and Casey Stengel. She has served on the executive board of the Society of American Baseball Research. This work was published before Cal Ripken, Jr. was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Few people know that seven native-born Marylanders have earned a place in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. This collective biography chronicles the lives and careers of the states baseball elite in words and period photographs. These Maryland players represent baseball's greatest players, beginning with Baltimore's own Babe Ruth, who began his legendary career with the Boston Red Sox in 1914. The Babes dynamic personality, coupled with his record of 714 home runs, made him the games most famous player. The other Marylanders who hold baseball's greatest honor are Vic Willis; famed hitter Home Run Baker, whose nickname tells his story; William Julius Judy Johnson, star third baseman from the Negro Leagues; Lefty Grove, the southpaw who could throw a lamb chop past a wolf; Jimmie Foxx, powerful slugger and three-time MVP; and Al Kaline, outstanding outfielder and batting champion.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Documents the skipjack and its role in the oyster dredging industry, describing the natural and manmade disasters that affected the trade, including the August storm of 1933 that swept vessels into pastures; ice-locked harbors that led to the idea of dredging through the ice with sleighs, cars, and trucks; and the Great Depression that crushed the oyster market overnight and forced many to abandon their vessels and way of life. The history of the skipjack, a vessel type that has only existed for about a hundred years, is seen here primarily through the eyes of the men who lived it. Author Vojtech interviewed some thirty captains, former captains, crew members, and relatives of those who worked the boats, to recreate the events that took place between 1917 and 1993. All fine except for tiny bit of wear on a back corner of the jacket. Signed by Author(s).…

Hardcover. Presumed first edition/first printing. Sewn binding. Paper over boards. 30 p. Contains: Illustrations. Excerpted from the author's home page: "Most people think I'm from Maryland because I've written so many stories about CHADWICK THE CRAB and even set some of my novels, such as RED KAYAK, near the Chesapeake Bay. But actually, I grew up.on a dairy farm in western Massachusetts, far from the water. I loved living on a farm where I was surrounded by animals and always in touch with nature.As a young girl, I had other passions besides a love for animals. I enjoyed mountain climbing with my father, especially in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.I had a lot of freedom growing up. It was a different kind of world then, and I had many memorable adventures with my friends and siblings. But what I loved above all else was reading books and writing my own stories.I had very few books of my own, but my most treasured one, CHARLOTTE'S WEB by E.B. White, remains on my bookshelf today. As for writing, I began with stories about our farm animals. Often, I illustrated the tales and made them into little books. I still remember taking one of these books in to my first grade teacher who put stickers on the cover.When I was ten, I spent the summer writing my first chapter book (about a horse, of course) and in high school I tried my hand at reporting for the school newspaper.After graduating from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in English literature, I became a newspaper reporter. Over the next ten years I worked for four different newspapers in four different states. In 1981, I was honored as UPI's Journalist of the Year for Virginia after researching and writing a series of articles on women in prison. That same year, I moved to Maryland where I became a magazine writer and editor for three years. I met and married another writer, John Frece, who was then a reporter for the Baltimore Sun. It was in Maryland that I saw my first blue crab. I couldn't believe people actually steamed and ate blue crabs! I began reading about those interesting critters and when I learned that in winter, crabs burrow into the mud at the bottom of the Bay to sleep until spring, I began to wonder: what if there was a crab who didn't want to sleep all winter? What if there was a crab who had Big Dreams? Who wanted to be a star at the aquarium in Baltimore so he wouldn't have to sleep all winter? It was just a silly idea, but that's how it all started. My first book, CHADWICK THE CRAB, was published in 1986.Over the years, I wrote several more picture books about animals in the Chesapeake Bay. Baron von Heron, Toulouse the Canada Goose, Hector Spector Jellyfish, Orville the Oyster and Bernie the Sea Gull are just a few of the characters that are near and dear to my heart. But I had other stories to tell and I dreamed of writing novels, too. In 1997, my first novel for older children, AUTUMN JOURNEY, was published.Today, my home is in Annapolis, Maryland with my family. We have a small sailboat and a green canoe, but no red kayaks. We have two cats named Mr. Charles Bingley (Mr. B. for short) and Romeo." Good. No dust jacket. Ex-library. Signed by author. Usual library markings. Inscription on t-p signed by Cummings in 2001.

The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; 9.25 inches tall; 390 pages with Chapter Notes and Index. A compelling exploration of maritime history and archaeology in the Chesapeake Bay region. Shomette, an accomplished underwater archaeologist, delves into three significant historical narratives that have shaped the area. The book's centerpiece is the "ghost fleet" of Mallows Bay, a collection of over 200 World War I-era wooden steamships scuttled in the Potomac River. Shomette examines the ambitious wartime shipbuilding efforts that led to the creation of these vessels and their subsequent abandonment, offering insights into the socio-economic factors influencing these decisions. His narrative is enriched with detailed accounts of archaeological investigations, including the excavation of the steamship New Jersey, and the search for Maryland's earliest English colony.

Contents address Mount Vernon Place, Downtown, Beltway, Railroads, Mill Towns, Planned Communities, and Houses. John Dorsey could be considered a bit of a paradox. He was a man of opinions -- informed, precise ones -- but was regarded by many as a shy figure. During his long career at The Sun in Baltimore, Dorsey served as an arts restaurant critic. Dorsey joined the Sun in 1962. Dorsey served as the Sun's art critic during the 1980s and 1990s. His work, regarded highly by peers and readers, earned him the inaugural A.D. Emmart Award -- given for journalism in the field of the humanities published in Maryland -- in 1974 from the Abell Foundation. He possessed a love for architecture, which he covered for the Sun and about which he authored a book titled "A Guide to Baltimore Architecture." His last book, published in 2005, was "Look Again in Baltimore," a combined effort with architectural photographer James DuSel. James D. Dilts was a former Baltimore Sun reporter and author who wrote widely on railroads, architecture, historic preservation and jazz and led the effort for the restoration of the historic Peale Museum in Baltimore. From eighteenth-century mansions to urban high-rise buildings, A Guide to Baltimore Architecture chronicles two hundred years of architectural history through an exploration of the city's most beautiful and significant structures. Grouped by neighborhood in fifteen walking and driving tours, more than two hundred notable Baltimore buildings are pictured and described with commentary on their history and style. John Roderigo Dos Passos (January 14, 1896 - September 28, 1970) was an American novelist, most notable for his U.S.A. trilogy. Born in Chicago, Dos Passos graduated from Harvard College in 1916. He traveled widely as a young man, visiting Europe and southwest Asia, where he learned about literature, art, and architecture. As an artist, Dos Passos created his own cover art for his books, influenced by modernism in 1920s Paris. He died in Baltimore, Maryland. Wilbur Harvey Hunter was Director of the Maryland Historical Society, 1972-1978 and Director of the Peale Museum, 1946-1979. Alexander Cochran of Baltimore (1913-1990) was described as an "architectural missionary." Besides being devoted to modernism, Cochran was a highly romantic humanist who desired to keep the best of the past while adapting to modern needs. He transformed his city, pointing the way to its later renaissance in the 1960s. Second Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing thus.…
