Summary: Calvert's Gold - Book Review
Comment: The story in CALVERT'S GOLD, by Phyllis Johnson, gives a very accurate, detailed account of rural life in the 1920's and 1930's in the very historic Maryland county, celebrating its 350th anniversary this year. A reader can find humor in the story, may reminisce while reading about the Southern Maryland traditions, may want to try the old recipes, and may experience vicariously the peaceful life before televisions and computers. The book also makes a plea to save the small farms. This story highlights a way of life that is worth remembering.
CALVERT'S GOLD has all the "ingredients" for a worthwhile, real life movie that will appeal to viewers of all ages.

Summary: Authentic picture of rural life in the 1920's and 30's
Comment: As a teacher, I would recommend using the story in Calvert's Gold, by Phyllis S. Johnson, as additional reading in literature classes or in history classes. It is interesting reading for old and
young. The writer uses great detail and explanation to help give the reader an understanding of the way life was on a small family farm in the late 1920's.
