I was looking for information on my family's homestead in Montgomery County, Maryland. This was one of the few sources that gave some background and context. There was a wealth of information on early Montgomery County residents. I recommend it for anyone interested in the history of Montgomery County, Maryland.

Being a Virginia native tracing genealogy, this series of books gives great insight to the people of the times and what life was like. Well written and illustrated. I moved to Montgomery County in 1950 and lived there through explosive growth.
