Volume I, which is subtitled "The Worthies of Talbot County," contains biographical sketches of notable citizens, among whom are represented the men of the Goldsborough, Tilghman, Benton, Martin, Lloyd, Thomas, Kerr, Hambleton, Chamberlaine, Hollyday, Stevens, and other families. Volume II relates the history of Talbot County from its early settlement down to the beginning of the Civil War, with particular stress on the Colonial, Revolutionary, and War of 1812 periods.
