William Stevens, to claim and develop land in rural Maryland. He established a ferry crossing along the banks of the deep, dark Pocomoke River, and the settlement that would eventually become Pocomoke City was born. Trade flourished; boats filled with lumber, tobacco, and furs sailed on the river to Northern ports, and shipbuilding became a successful enterprise. People flocked to Pocomoke City to work at the lumber mills and in the shipyards, and the little town grew into a small center of commerce with the coming of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1922, a devastating fire destroyed 75 percent of the business section of the town, but the community came together and rebuilt what has been called \"the Friendliest Town on the Eastern Shore.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norma Miles, Robin Chandler-Miles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738553492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738553498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.57w x 0.37d","brand":"Norma Miles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925793046783,"sku":"9780738553498","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_aaf39b56-9a16-4737-917a-ac3ebb609856.jpg?v=1681079390","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pocomoke-city-norma-miles-9780738553498","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
