Eastern
Shore Indians of Virginia and Maryland
by Helen C. Roundtree
and Thomas Davidson
A history of Virginia's and Maryland's Eastern Shore Indians
from A.D. 800 until the last tribes disbanded in the late 18th
and early 19th centuries with an emphasis on ecology. For example,
the authors show that Maryland's active fur trade delayed English
settlement of the regions's interior, allowing the native people
to remain "traditional" for a very long time. When
settlements pressed in on them, the Indians simply moved away.
There are details on the characteristics and traditions of each
tribe, plus the flora and fauna of the region.
