The land Calvert inherits is full of surprises and amazing escapades. Based on actual accounts.From Calvert of Maryland. . .“AS OF COURSE YOU KNOW, the family name of the Baltimores is Calvert, and the old lord was George of that line; but there are so many Georges in this world that no one could have picked me out from a crowd simply by hearing my name, whereas, when a person calls another ‘Calvert,’ people prick up their ears, wondering whether it be one of the Baltimores who is addressed, which is much to my liking.”The purpose of the stories in The Colonial America Series is to show children the home life of the colonists with whom they meet in their books, while describing the daily life of those people who conquered the wilderness whether for conscience sake or gain.
