John L. Bozman's "History of Maryland", 2 vols. (1837),
contains much valuable material for the years 1634-1658.
J. T. Scharf's "History of Maryland", 3 vols. (1879), is a solid piece of
work; but the reader will turn by preference to the more readable books by
John Fiske, "Virginia and Her Neighbors", and William H. Browne, "Maryland,
The History of a Palatinate " ("American Commonwealth Series," 1884).
Browne has also written "George and Cecilius Calvert" (1890).
THE CAROLINAS
"The Colonial Records of North Carolina", 10 vols. (1886-1890), are a mine
of information about both North and South Carolina.
Francis L. Hawks's "History of North Carolina", 2 vols. (1857-8), remains
the most substantial work on the colony to the year 1729.
Samuel A. Ashe's "History of North Carolina" (1908) carries the political
history down to 1783.
Edward McCrady's "History of South Carolina under the Proprietary
Government" (1897) and "South Carolina under the Royal Government" (1899)
have superseded the older histories by Ramsay and Hewitt.
GEORGIA
The best histories of Georgia are those by William B. Stevens, 2 vols.
(1847, 1859), and Charles C. Jones, 2 vols. (1883). Robert Wright's "Memoir
of General James Oglethorpe" (1867) is still the best life of the founder
of Georgia.
In the "American Nation Series" and in Winsor's "Narrative and Critical
History of America", the reader will find accounts of the Southern colonies
written by specialists and accompanied by much critical apparatus.
