Rob of the Bowl: A Legend of St. Inigoe's. Vol. 1 (of 2)

A historical tale set in colonial Maryland recreates the vanished seat of government and the Jesuit manor on St. Inigoe’s creek, using recovered records and local tradition to evoke ruined state houses, family tombs, and ancient trees. The narrative sketches settlers’ daily labors, the maritime and riverine landscape, and the domestic life of manor and village while examining the interplay of faith, civil authority, and partisan intolerance that shaped the community. Scenes of antiquarian detail and weathered architecture frame episodes of loyalty, memory, and the slow decay of institutions as political shifts and neglect transform a once-prominent town into an overgrown relic.
