Easton - Then and NowBy Antonio GranadosThis is the second time that I have taken an illustrated; sightseeing tour through a small colonial town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. It was as informative and absorbing as my first tour of an Eastern Shore town with Mindie Burgoynes book; "Snow Hill."I grew up in Maryland; just north of Washington; D.C. and we always thought of Maryland as being in two parts: where I lived and east of us somewhere was the Eastern Shore.We never knew much about the Eastern Shore except that we thought that it was old; "behind the times" and on the other side of the Chesapeake Bay. And so it was; in a quiet but elegant sort of way. Now; through Ms. Burgoynes books; Im learning more about the Eastern Shore that now rises as a gem of Americana; quite preserved in its simplicity and its modest grandeur.The authenticity of this book rests upon Ms. Burgoynes extensive; personal research in the accumulation of archival and cotemporary photographs; plus her research of facts for her editorial comments. In Ms. Burgoynes hands; these photographs and facts make this book a truly historic document. I would certainly recommend "Easton; Then and Now" to anyone interested in the Eastern Shore of Maryland and to anyone who would like to take a stroll through a historic part of colonial Maryland that has changed "Now;" since "Then"...but not that much.Antonio Granados;353 Snowball DiveLevittown; PA 19056
