Item description from seller

2001, vi, 151pp, map, index. Wrps. VG+. From the introduction: "During the colonial period, residents of Northern Virginia were more closely connected with their neighbors across the Potomac River than they were with the people of the lower Tidewater because of the distance to the Virginia Capitol in Williamsburg. Culturally akin to their Maryland neighbors, Virginians were able to find more news of local interest in the Maryland Gazette which had been published since 1728 in Annapolis. Discovery of this relation was made by the compiler while reading the Maryland newspaper during a research project that centered upon history of the courthouse at Port Tobacco, in Charles County, Maryland. While extracting items concerning Port Tobacco, it came as a pleasant surprise to find so much information about life on the Virginia side of the Potomac River. The Maryland capitol of Annapolis was much closer than Virginia's Williamsburg, and the Maryland Gazette covered in detail the news of interest to citizens and merchants of Fairfax County and the town of Alexandria.".
