Books on Tidewuter Country
Are in Demand at Librorv

There is evidence that Washing
tonians speeding to the various
summer beaches along the Tidewater
shores are not unmindful of the
historic countryside through which
they are passing. Among the ques-
tions recently asked at the Central
Public Library, Eighth and K streets
NV, and its many branches are: !:
How many houses were in st. Marys
City during its heyday? Did any
Lord Baltimore ever live in Mary
land? Who were the Charles and
Henry for whom the famous capes
are named? What is the history of
the Three-notch road?
Two books of perennial interest
are Potomac Landings" and Tide
water Maryland" by Paul Wilstach,
which describe the low-lying coun-
try along the Chesapeake Bay and
its many estuaries. Mr.. Wilstach
has accented the peculiar charm
of this nearby territory by his de-
scriptions of the slow-moving life
of the people and the traditions
which stretch far behind them.
