Site of the first official rebellious act of the American colonies; early Frederick Town shared the fortunes of the growing nation as proximity to the new capital in Washington and the port of Baltimore fed industry and culture here along the Monocacy River.

Five StarsBy DanetteThis book was great! Particularly since many family and friends were in it.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Awesome!By CaryThis is a really awesome book! I was hoping it would be interesting and not too dull. but it is fascinating and I am enjoying it far more than I expected! The detail is great. it is very readable. more story-like than just facts and figures which is more what I was expecting. I would highly recommend this book to those interested not only in Italians. but in Chicago history in general.
