The 300 Year History of Silver Spring, Maryland
fifth edition with photos
by Richard C. Jaffeson, AICP
August 2005
Copyrights (C) 1995, 2000, 2003, and 2005 This informative book highlights the historic development of Silver Spring, Maryland covering the central business district and the immediately surrounding residential areas. The community is adjacent to northwest Washington, DC, and this history describes many significant events and prominent individuals. The previous history of Silver Spring was written in 1918 by Gist Blair, the son of Montgomery Blair (the attorney who represented Dred Scott before the Supreme Court, and Postmaster General for President Abraham Lincoln), and the grandson of Francis Preston Blair and Eliza Gist Blair. A special April 1996 edition was prepared for Blair Lee IV, a direct descendent of the founding Blair and Lee families and son of the former Maryland governor, for a presentation at the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the Lee Development Group. The text covers more than 300 years from the colonial land grants to the actual discovery of Silver Spring, and from its initial suburban growth to the more recent urban development. There are five major sections and nearly forty chapters on specific events and individuals. Each chapter includes questions at the beginning, which are followed by text, and concludes with the answers to that section. Publication Commentary In June 1997, this publication received an "Excellence in Planning Award for Development Process," from the National Capital Area Chapter, American Planning Association at its Annual Awards Program and 50th Anniversary Celebration at historic Fort McNair in Washington, DC. "Clearly, this was thoroughly researched and will serve as a great resource for many years to come. Your efforts are very much appreciated in documenting the history of our proud community."

However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
