Images of America: Historic Silver Spring celebrates the community's past, beginning with founder Francis Preston Blair's 1840 discovery of the mica-flecked spring and the 1873 arrival of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Vintage photographs document the progressive growth of the "Main Streets," Georgia Avenue and Colesville Road, and the construction of the Silver Spring Armory and National Dry Cleaning Institute in 1927 and the Silver Theatre and Silver Spring Shopping Center in 1938. The volume culminates with modern pictures of downtown Silver Spring's 21st-century revitalization, which continues to preserve the past and secure the future of the area. In a pictorial journey through the community's Central Business District and bordering residential neighborhood, East Silver Spring, Historic Silver Spring honors the people and places that have come before.

On July 11, 1864, some residents cheered and others watched in horror as Confederate troops spread across the fields and orchards of Silver Spring, Maryland. Many fled to the capital while General Jubal Early's troops ransacked their property. The estate of Lincoln's postmaster general, Montgomery Blair, was burned, and his father's home was used by Early as headquarters from which to launch an attack on Washington's defenses. Yet the first Civil War casualty in Silver Spring came well before Early's raid, when Union soldiers killed a prominent local farmer in 1862. This was life in the shadow of the Federal City. Drawing on contemporary accounts and memoirs, Dr. Robert E. Oshel tells the story of Silver Spring over the tumultuous course of the Civil War.

Understanding and applying the wisdom of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez! In an incredibly short time, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has galvanized the country on issues of national importance. This young member of Congress has motivated Democrats to confront climate change and income inequality and is upending conventional wisdom about how young women, especially women of color, are supposed to behave. Her background, including a family that fell out of the middle class due to health care challenges, has driven her to champion those on the margins, such as low-wage workers, immigrants, people of color, and younger people who face a future of climate disruption and instability. This book takes life lessons from the rising star known as AOC and offers readers a chance to apply them to their own lives. In five chapters, The AOC Way weaves substantive issues and AOC’s experiences to understand how she so quickly came to dominate media coverage in America but also to drive real change in what seems like a lightening flash. AOC has demonstrated some key values and commitments on her way to success, such as believing in yourself and not letting haters take you off course; working hard and being prepared to prove your talents; bringing your experiences to your work by not forgetting how you got where you are; challenging the status quo; and staying true to your friends and allies.

Take a tour of the dynamic central business district of Silver Spring, Maryland, and its surroundings. In 1840, journalist and politician Francis Preston Blair discovered a sparkling mica-flecked spring that would serve as the centerpiece of his country estate, Silver Spring. In just over a century, this bucolic woodland, located across the border from Washington, D.C., became known as downtown Silver Spring, Maryland. Author Jerry A. McCoy, founder and president of the Silver Spring Historical Society and a special collections librarian at the D.C. Public Library's Washingtoniana Division and Peabody Room, takes you inside of how it came to be.

New York Times bestselling author Brenda Novak welcomes you to Silver Springs with four classic stories of romantic fiction… “Once you visit Silver Springs, you’ll never want to leave.” ~Library Journal Finding Our Forever The search for her birth mother brought Cora Kelly to the New Horizons Boys Ranch. Getting a job there was easy enough, but telling Aiyana, the ranch’s owner, that she’s really her daughter is another matter. Especially once she gets to know Elijah Turner—Aiyana’s adopted son and ranch manager. Elijah can’t deny his deep attraction to Cora, though due to his past he’s always struggled with trust. But if the feelings she awakes in his guarded heart are any indication, she might be just what he’s long been waiting for. No One But You After a messy divorce and desperate to secure custody of her son, Sadie Harris takes a job assisting Dawson Reed—the same Dawson Reed who recently stood trial for the murder of his adoptive parents. Innocent of the charges against him, Dawson wants to leave his painful past behind and fix up the family farm so he can finally bring his dependent sister home where she belongs. As Sadie’s and Dawson’s professional relationship grows into something undeniably personal, Sadie realizes there’s more to Dawson than the bad boy everyone else sees—he has a good heart, one that might even be worth fighting for. Until You Loved Me Workaholic scientist Ellie Fisher liberates her wild side just long enough to indulge in a passionate one-night-stand. She never even learned the guy’s full name, something that shouldn’t have been a problem…until a pregnancy test turns positive. Being a professional football player, Hudson King has always been cautious around women—but this one had been different. When Ellie tracks him down, claiming she’s carrying his baby, he’s stunned. After growing up as an orphan, he’ll do anything to stay involved in his child’s life. Hudson has a lot of love to give—certainly enough for his child, and when their initial spark reignites, perhaps for Ellie too… Right Where We Belong Savanna Gray’s “perfect” life unraveled when her husband was arrested for attacking three women. With her divorce settled, she takes her two children home to Silver Springs to seek refuge between the walls of the farmhouse where she was born. Gavin Turner understands the struggle of starting over. Abandoned when he was five, it wasn’t until he landed at New Horizons Boys Ranch as a teen that he finally found some peace. He steps up when Savanna needs help fixing things. Despite an escalating attraction to Gavin, Savanna resolves to keep her distance. But it’s hard to resist a man whose heart is as capable as his hands. Originally published in 2017

SILVER SPRING SUCCESS The 300 Year History of Silver Spring, Maryland Sixth edition with photos, 142 pages by Richard C. Jaffeson, AICP April 2014 Copyrights (c) 1995, 2000, 2003, and 2014 First edition, November 1995; Second edition, April 1996; Third edition, July 1996: Fourth edition, September 2000; and Fifth edition, January 2003 The sixth edition in 2014 contains 37 pages updated from the 2003 issue and features a new cover photo. 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 first 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. Your efforts are very much appreciated in documenting the history of our proud community." ~Derick P. Berlage, former Member County Council, Montgomery County, MD "I have placed your book in the office of our curator where it will serve as an informative reference." ~Randy Bumgardner, Administrator Blair House, U.S. State Department, Washington, DC "The fact that Elizabeth Blair found, ́...the bubbling brook they called Silver Spring. ́ while riding her horse appeals to an ́old ́ horseback rider like me." ~Nancy Dacek, former Member County Council, Montgomery County, MD "You have complied a detailed history of Silver Spring in a format that is intriguing and engaging. I'm sure anyone interested in our county's past will enjoy reading your book. It's great to see ́history ́ encompassing more recent accomplishments, including the current revitalization efforts, in which, I believe we have found a ́formula for success. ́" ~Douglas M.
