An Architectural History of Harford County, Maryland

About this book

It is important to bear in mind that Harford County had been home to a flourishing, pleasant civilization long before Larry MacPhail decided to retire to his Bel Air farm to escape the pressures of running a major league baseball club. Indeed, by the time the Ark and the Dove ventured up the Potomac in 1634, Harford had been the scene of a highly developed Native American civilization for centuries, and a surprisingly varied amount of material has endured to help historians understand this civilization and those who created it, the Susquehannocks.
