This post is short & sweet!
- Spent a very worthwhile afternoon last rainy & cold Saturday, October 17th at the Maryland Historical Society H. Furlong Baldwin Library.
- No, the library is NOT open on Sundays!
- Make note to self: wear more sweaters next time!! Brrrrrr!
- Had great help from the head Research Librarian, Mr. Francis O'Neill.
- Now have a cart full of "goodies" saved for my next visits!
- Feel more optimistic that I'll be able to put enough interesting facts and substantiated guesses together to make for a decent project.
- And ... I predict I'll have a nice surprise or two to share about the early presence of Native Americans in Baltimore!
