Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and intriguing story of George Evelin, a figure who played a pivotal role in the early days of colonial Maryland. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the contentious rivalry between William Claiborne, a prominent figure in Virginia, and Lord Baltimore, whose proprietary rights to Maryland were contested by Claiborne. Evelin's arrival in 1636 at Kent Island, a settlement established by Claiborne, coincides with the burgeoning tensions between Virginia and Maryland. The author meticulously reconstructs the events that led to Evelin's seemingly opportunistic shift in allegiances from Claiborne to Lord Baltimore, and the subsequent dramatic events that culminated in the takeover of Kent Island by Maryland. A tale of betrayal, political maneuvering, and conflict, this book offers insights into the motivations and machinations of individuals shaping early colonial society. It highlights the significance of personal ambition and the role of power struggles in shaping the trajectory of the fledgling colonies, demonstrating how the pursuit of personal gain can have profound consequences for the individuals and communities involved. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
