I have lived in or around Annapolis all my life; therefore, I found this book fascinating. The book gave the historical view of the major families of the city and the major events but it also gave the reader views of the city before it became what it is today which I found so enlightening. I felt as though I were living in the era and seeing Annapolis not as it is today but as it was then.
Good reading.
