John Sherwood, Ironmaster
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

John Sherwood, Ironmaster (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from John Sherwood, Ironmaster Once a month Uncle Dick drove to the city and left with Euphemia a cheque which with economy barely sufficed to keep the household. I am sure that they knew it had been and was, far too little, even with their present addition. Euphemia proudly and silently accepted it without thanks. I am sure that they regarded the narrowed life to which their disapproval and meanness condemned her as proper punishment for what they considered to have been both social and religious apostasy. I suspect that they gave little thought to me, their sister's child, and none as to how I might incidentally suffer from their punitive limitation of Euphemia's income. Long after...

Maryland's Vanishing Lives
For more than two years, John Sherwood roamed Maryland's small towns and city neighborhoods, traveled Appalachian back roads, and sailed the Chesapeake looking for people whose work or way of life recalled the state's rich and varied tradition. Maryland's Vanishing Lives is his vivid account of the people he met on those journeys. Working in a country store or an old-time movie house, on a small tobacco farm or a weathered skipjack, Sherwood's subjects interest us as people, as stubborn survivors who have watched—sometimes defiantly, sometimes wistfully—as the world moved on. These Marylanders' stories poignantly show what happens to family businesses and ordinary folk in the face of new technology, suburban sprawl, franchise outlets, and changing tastes. But Maryland's Vanishing Lives is also an engaging celebration of pride and craft, and the ability to survive. In this collection of sixty-six short profiles, illustrated with memorable photographs by Edwin Remsberg, Sherwood preserves for posterity the lives of Marylanders who hang on to values and skills that are quickly disappearing.
