The Baltimore Book by Linda Shopes

The Baltimore Book by Linda Shopes

Presents both a history of 'the other Baltimore' and a tour guidance to places in the city that are important to labor, African American, and women's history. Based on 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.

"[The] authors infuse the city and its history with life... [Readers] will emerge with an uncommonly complete picture of the character of Baltimore and its people."
—Nancy Brennan, Executive Director, Baltimore City Life Museums
"The Baltimore Book tells the story of the real people of Baltimore—the true fabric of the city. These are the courageous individuals who fought for their right to work, and fought for their right to buy a home and live where they chose. Their goals and their struggle to achieve those goals is the real story of how a city grows."
—Barbara A. Mikulski, United States Senator from Maryland

"...'must' reading for anyone who wishes to develop a comprehensive view of the city's history in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries...."
—Robert J. Brugger, Editor, Maryland Historical Magazine
