Historical Sketches of Counties and of Some Notable Structures, edited by Swepson Earle with Percy G. Skirven. Browse the original 1916 volume below, including chapters on Somerset, Worcester, Wicomico, and the other counties of Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
Published in 1916, the book combines local history with descriptions and photographs of notable Eastern Shore buildings and places.
For Wicomico researchers, the volume is useful not only for the chapter devoted specifically to Wicomico County, but also for its treatment of Somerset and Worcester counties, where many Wicomico families and communities were rooted before the county was created in 1867.
The Wicomico County chapter was written by L. I. Pollitt.
