Maryland, A Middle Temperament Summary

Maryland, A Middle Temperament: 1634-1980 by Robert J. Brugger (Johns Hopkins University Press)

Maryland: A Middle Temperament explores the ironies, contradictions, and compromises that give "America's oldest border state" its special character. Extensively illustrated and accompanied by bibliography, maps, charts, and tables, Robert Brugger's vivid account of the state's political, economic, social, and cultural heritage-from the outfitting of Cecil Calvert's expedition to the opening of Baltimore's Harborplace-is rich in the issues and personalities that make up Maryland's story and explain its "middle temperament."

Maryland, A Middle Temperament Reviews

[An] altogether exemplary history. In following the middle course, Maryland has chosen the American way; this, it seems to me, is the deepest and most important truth in Robert J. Brugger's thoroughly admirable book. -- Jonathan Yardley Washington Post Book World The most comprehensive and readable history of the Free State ever published. It's absolutely the only account I've ever seen that makes almost all our state history seem important or entertaining or both. It will doubtless be used for generations as the most reliable reference work on its subject. -- John Goodspeed Evening Sun It is comprehensive in scope yet concise in treatment, scholarly in content yet engaging in prose, cautious in judgement yet adventurous in interpretation. Maryland's historical record has been both controversial and proud; now, in Brugger's volume, its people have a history of that experience of which they can, without controversy, be very proud. Maryland Historical Magazine This is the best single-volume history of Maryland in print. Maryland Historian
