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.

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.
