Jaffeson, AICP\u003cbr\u003e April 2003\u003cbr\u003e Copyrights(c) 1995, 2000, and 2003 This informative book highlights the historic development of Silver Spring, Maryland covering the central business district and the immediately surrounding residential areas. The community is adjacent to northwest Washington, DC, and this history describes many significant events and prominent individuals. The previous history of Silver Spring was written in 1918 by Gist Blair, the son of Montgomery Blair (the attorney who represented Dred Scott before the Supreme Court, and Postmaster General for President Abraham Lincoln), and the grandson of Francis Preston Blair and Eliza Gist Blair. A special April 1996 edition was prepared for Blair Lee IV, a direct descendent of the founding Blair and Lee families, and son of the former Maryland governor, for a presentation at the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the Lee Development Group. The text covers more than 300 years from the colonial land grants to the actual discovery of Silver Spring, and from its initial suburban growth to the more recent urban development. There are five major sections and nearly forty chapters on specific events and individuals. Each chapter includes questions at the beginning, which are followed by text, and concludes with the answers to that section. Publication Commentary In June 1997, this publication received an \"Excellence in Planning Award for Development Process,\" from the National Capital Area Chapter, American Planning Association at its Annual Awards Program and 50th Anniversary Celebration at historic Fort McNair in Washington, DC. \"Clearly, this was thoroughly researched and will serve as a great resource for many years to come.

I'm sure anyone interested in our county's past will enjoy reading your book.
