Annapolis Vignettes is a compilation of articles written by Ginger Doyel for her column, "Annapolis: From Past to Present," published weekly by The Capital newspaper since November 2002. Annapolis Vignettes explores Annapolis history from the late 17th century to the present through four key themes: the people, places, St. John’s College and the U.S. Naval Academy, and preservation efforts. Read about the runaway wedding, bygone Naval Academy dating traditions, an unlikely preservationist, and the "new" Severn River Bridge. Each compelling vignette has been researched through interviews, books, newspaper records, and primary sources at the Maryland State and U.S. Naval Academy Nimitz Library Special Collections and Archives. An original illustration or photograph accompanies each vignette.
