About the author

J. Dennis Robinson is the author of a dozen entertaining books about American history. He writes from a hideaway office in historic Portsmouth, NH near the swirling Piscataqua River. A popular and sometimes irreverent columnist and lecturer, he operates the award-winning website SeacoastNH.com. His latest book, MYSTERY ON THE ISLES OF SHOALS, is a thrilling nonfiction study of the infamous 1873 ax murders on Smuttynose Island. Yankee Magazine editor Judson Hale calls it "a superb piece of work" and Library Journal says "recommended for all true crime collections." His other page-turning history books focus on privateering, Jesse James, Strawbery Banke Museum, archaeology, Victorian hotels, Lord Baltimore, child labor, and more. As Robyn Dennison, the author has begun a genre-busting series of e-book novellas. The first, KILL ALL THE VAMPIRE WRITERS is available from Kindle Direct Publishing.

Reviews

[Jon Nakapalau · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story of Lord Baltimore and the founding of Maryland was a chapter in American history I knew nothing about. This book gives a very good overview of the challenges a Catholic lord had to face in Puritan England while trying to start a colony.

[Keyan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked it because I like to book about people who founded land. If you like to read books like that than this is why you should read this book. It is not that long it's only 101 pages long. So that is why you should read this book.
