Maryland in Black and White. Maryland in the 1930s and early lsquo;40s truly represented a microcosm of America; a middle ground where beach and mountain; north and south; urban and rural; black and white; farmer and businessman; rich and poor; young and old met. This period also witnessed a turning point in the statersquo;s history. The pace and nature of change varied from region to region; but even in areas that seemed most resistant to itmdash;the Chesapeake Bay; where oyster tongers harvested their catch using methods unchanged for centuries; or the mountains and streams of Garrett County; where the seasons timelessly repeated themselvesmdash;the momentum toward a modern economy; influenced if not dominated by urban and national concerns; had significant impact.Within these pages; the farms and coal fields of 1930s and 40s Western Maryland; the tobacco fields of Southern Maryland; watermen in wooden boats along the Eastern Shore; and smiling couples dancing at a wartime senior prom come back to life. These photographs reveal places we know but scarcely recognize and give us another look at the people of "the greatest generation."]]>
