This review is from: Indians of Early Maryland (Paperback)

This book has very good and little known information on Maryland Indians, but the biggest problem is that it has not been revised since 1959 and was reprinted with the errors in 1981. The last two pages of the book contain the sentences, "Indians have disappeared from the Maryland of today. and Even though Indians have vanished from Maryland,..." The last US Census count in 1998, listed 15, 779 Native Americans in the State of Maryland. The Press Director of the Maryland Historical Society has refused to grant permission for editorial changes changing the language to say Indians are alive in Maryland, even though it is within his power to do so. This is tantamount to documentary genocide and as a Native American Marylander, I am offended, that the Maryland Historical Society would continue to offer a book that denies my existence. Do not buy this book, but contact the Maryland Historical Society and demand a reprint that states the truth!
