The Maryland eastern shore and tile

Thus the Eastern Shore (properly, perhaps, pronounced Eastern Sho'), a climate paradise, with long penetrating fingers of the Bay extending inward to form frequent fine water highways, became a center of culture and development which even the once-disbelieved transfer of sea trade to Boston, New York and Philadelphia failed to abate or tarnish.

This level land, boasting recurring views of water, stretches of woodland, fields fertile and nearly always green, was a good place to live. Water-bordered sites were a temptation and a satisfaction to prospective builders; and houses when built became hospitably and spectacularly visible from the network of bays and rivers.

Recently someone has spoken of the community as the Station Wagon Venice, where originally it was convenient to make use of water communication; but now it has become, paradoxically, easier to roll seven or ten miles on tires than to go half a mile by outboard. The remarkable water communication system provided by Nature is shown on the map. It would seem that such an astounding land and water arrangement could only have been the result of some extensive C.C.C. project to teach the young mind the use of the marine dredge.
