Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. St. Marys County is where colonial Maryland began, with the establishment of St. Marys City on the site of an ancient Yaocomico village as Marylands first capital in 1634. Southern Maryland has been home to human occupation for at least 12,000 years, and since 1634 the area has seen myriad changes through the rise and fall of tobacco agriculture and its associated enslaved labor to its current status as a bedroom community to Washington, DC, and as home to the Patuxent Naval Air Station. Although historically rural, the area is slowly giving rise to suburban development, and so ties to the past become increasingly important.In Listening In, Merideth Taylor provides a captivating, even pioneering approach to capturing the land and life of Marylands ""mother county."" She integrates her own engaging photographs of buildings of all kinds, many of them in disrepair, with imaginative text called ""ghost stories"" that relate to the photographs in one way or another. These stories are based on living oral histories that Taylor has heard over the many years she has lived in the area. And so we gain a true sense of what life in St. Marys County was-and the place it is becoming. Mary's County was--and the place it is becoming.

Hardback. Condition: New. A richly imagined, photo illustrated narrative of 150 years of life in slavery on tobacco plantations in Southern Maryland For over 165 years, plantation owners in Southern Maryland depended on the labor of enslaved men, women, and children to bring in the tobacco crop. The photographs and stories in this book grew out of the author's quest to understand how these people, who were subjected to a system that made every attempt to brutalize and dehumanize them, were able not only to survive but to build families and meaningful lives. Author Merideth Taylor has created a credible, well-researched, richly imagined world that is both informative and moving. The traditional central figure and linear plot of the novel has been replaced by an interwoven collage of scenes and community of characters, that reflect the diversity of experience, "silences," and incompleteness of the historical record. Her choice to largely avoid graphic depictions of the violence perpetrated on enslaved bodies allows the reader to focus, instead, on the remarkable resilience, ingenuity, skills, and cultural strengths that enabled them to make a way out of no way. Author royalties will be donated to Historic Sotterley's Descendant's Project.
