From William Hambleton’s arrival on the Eastern Shore in 1657 and through every major conflict on land, sea, and air since, a member of the Hambleton clan has participated and made a lasting contribution to this nation. Their achievements are not only in war but in civic leadership as well. Among its members are bankers, business leaders, government officials, and visionaries. Not only is the Hambleton family extraordinary by American standards, it is also remarkable in that their base for four centuries has been and continues to be Maryland. Join the Maryland Historical Society for the launch of Martha Frick Symington Sanger’s new book, Maryland Blood: An American Family in War and Peace, The Hambletons 1657 to Present. A discussion of Sanger's research will begin at 6:00PM, followed by a celebratory reception and book signing.
