THE HAL SHARP BOOK

The book is beautifully illustrated and published by the Maryland Historical Society in 2001. The project has been supported by the Friends of Patapsco Valley and Heritage Greenway and made possible by grants and contributions from the Maryland Historical Trust, Celebration 2000, and others.
