Synopsis

Founding Maryland reveals how a bold plan and a new colony shaped colonial America.

This historical narrative follows Cecil Calvert’s efforts to turn a royal dream into a settled province. It weaves political maneuvering, daring voyages, and the beginnings of Maryland’s communities into one clear story. In readable, tightly focused chapters, the book traces the voyage of the Ark and the Dove, the early governance of the colony, and the careful balancing of settlers’ needs with those of Indigenous peoples. It also places Maryland’s founding in the larger context of 17th‑century English politics and family ambition, showing how a family’s influence shaped a province.

• Detail-filled account of the first voyage and the settlers who built the colony
• Insights into governance, land grants, and early colonial policy
• Discussion of relations with Native peoples and with rival English interests
• Context on the Calverts’ role in broader political struggles of the era

Ideal for readers of early American history and biographies of colonial leaders, who want a clear view of how a province took root and why it mattered.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Lords Baltimore

He was so highly esteemed for his knowledge and penetration in State affairs, that his abilities recommended him to Sir Robert Cecil, who had been one of the principal Secretaries of State at the death of Queen Elizabeth, and who, by artful management as well as for his great services in securing James' succession, was continued in that office by King James. Sir Robert appointed young Calvert his chief clerk, and when the former was advanced to the office of Lord High Treasurer, as Earl of Salisbury, he still retained his favorite clerk and made use of his prudence and fidelity in many important affairs, and procured for him afterwards the post of one of the clerks of the Privy Council.
