FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description Baltimore has a long, colorful history that traditionally has been focused on famous men, social elites, and patriotic events. "The Baltimore Book" is both a history of 'the other Baltimore' and a tour guide to places in the city that are important to labor, African American, and women's history. The book grew out of a popular local bus tour conducted by public historians, the People's History Tour of Baltimore, that began in 1982. This book records and adds sites to that tour; provides maps, photographs, and contemporary documents; and, includes interviews with some of the uncelebrated people whose experiences as Baltimoreans reflect more about the city than Francis Scott Key ever did. The tour begins at the B&O Railroad Station at Camden Yards, site of the railroad strike of 1877, moves on to Hampden-Woodbury, the mid-19th century cotton textile industry's company town, and stops on the way to visit Evergreen House and to hear the narratives of ex-slaves.We travel to Old West Baltimore, the late 19th-century center of commerce and culture for the African American community; Fells Point; Sparrows Point; the suburbs; Federal Hill; and, Baltimore's 'renaissance' at Harborplace.Interviews with community activists, civil rights workers, Catholic Workers, and labor union organizers bring color and passion to this historical tour.
