Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Take a literary tour of Maryland's Eastern Shore. Originally
published in 1944 as part of the prestigious Rivers of America
series, this second edition brings an American classic back into
print and into the hands of a new generation. Author Hulbert
Footner tells the story of Maryland’s Eastern Shore through his
colorful narratives of 17 fascinating rivers. His story begins from
the day European settlers landed and encountered the Indigenous
peoples and continues to the early 20th century. Each river has its
own story, character, and beauty, lovingly described during his
travels. Footner writes in vivid, glowing prose about the Eastern
Shore's people, customs, towns, and houses. He speaks of its
politics and economics. The region is rich with American history,
from the Revolution, War of 1812, and Civil War to the trade of
enslaved Africans and the oyster wars over its great natural
resource. And Footner captures it all. Text and illustrations are
faithfully reproduced from the original edition, augmented by a
biographical sketch written by Footner’s granddaughter and a
foreword by noted nature writer Tom Horton. This book is a
must-have for those devoted to the character and culture of this
coastal region, with its eclectic small towns and pristine natural
beauty.
