This academic textbook, part of the Fifty Stars of the Western Union series, provides a detailed exploration of Maryland, known as the Old Line State. The book covers the state's trajectory from its 1632 founding by Cecilius Calvert as a haven for religious tolerance to its pivotal role in the American Civil War-highlighting events like the Battle of Antietam. It delves into Maryland's diverse economy, which ranges from tobacco plantations and the Port of Baltimore to modern biotechnology and military bases like Fort George G. Meade. Furthermore, the text profiles major educational institutions, such as Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland, and showcases prominent cultural landmarks and tourist attractions throughout the state.
