Nan Hayden Agle Princess Mary of Maryland

Annotation

Did you know that Maryland has a real little Indian princess? Princess Mary was not as well known as Virginia's Pocahontas, but she played an important part in Maryland's history.Nan Agle has told a delightful story of Little Girl. We know here from the time she rode on her mother's back to watch the Dove sail up Pascataway Creek in 1634, bringing the first white settlers to Maryland under the command of their first governor, Leonard Calvert, to the time she married Giles Brent and became the mother of his family of children.Both author and artist live Baltimore. Aaron Sopher has caught the spirit of early Maryland in his lovely illustrations.
