Summary
Tour the USA—in Maryland! This oddly-configured state—the ninth smallest—has been called "American in Miniature."
Within its borders: maritime (Chesapeake!) and mountains (Appalachia), the industrial north (Baltimore), the plantation South (Southern Maryland). It's all here in Hidden Maryland: In Search of America in Miniature.
Gene Meyer has spent decades exploring the state's hidden nooks and crannies, meeting people and finding places not on any traditional tour map. This richly-illustrated guide through the state's regions, with side trips to its sporting life, military history, and more, will delight and enthrall you.
This audiobook also includes unique profiles of Free State personalities such as noir novelist and filmmaker George Pelecanos, wine guru Robert Parker, and Tony Mendez, the CIA operative behind ARGO, the successful extraction of American hostages in Iran turned into a 2012 Oscar-winning film, and Charlie Koiner, an honest-to-goodness urban farmer. In search of America in Miniature? You will find it all here, in Gene Meyer's Hidden Maryland.
