Columbia at 50


Book Description

Jim Rouse secretly bought 14,000 acres of farmland in segregated Howard County, Maryland, promising to transform them into a city of 100,000 that was "economically diverse, poly-cultural, multi-faith and interracial." A veteran journalist tells the fascinating story of how this new town of Columbia grew and prospered, succeeded and failed.







Haunted Howard County, Maryland


Book Description

The rolling countryside of Howard County is dotted with dozens of two-hundred-year-old log cabins, humble homes and magnificent manor houses--many teeming with restless spirits. From the specter of the madman murderer at Belmont Manor to the spirits of mangled workers at Savage Mill, the dead return to tell their tales. Delve into the stories behind the Blue Lady of Salopha, the lovelorn poltergeist at the Grayhouse, the shocking secret of the Mead House and the gruesome origins of the tormented spirit at La Petite Academy. Packed with recently uncovered facts, nearly forgotten local lore and chilling eyewitness accounts, every chapter overflows with riveting stories of Howard County's haunted history. Author Shelley Davies Wygant uncovers spooky tales that have never been told before.
