LOC Adds The Capital and the Bay: Narratives of Washington and the Chesapeake Bay Region, 1600-1900 

The Library of Congress/American Memory has added The Capital and the Bay: Narratives of Washington and the Chesapeake Bay Region, 1600-1900 to their collection at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/lhcbhtml/ . This collection covers first-person narratives, early histories, and other information relating to the Chesapeake Bay Region (which encompasses parts of Maryland and Virginia and the whole of the District of Columbia.) 

This collection contains 139 books selected from the Library of Congress. The books are both browsable by title/subject (since there are only 139 books, this method doesn't work as well as it does in larger American Memory collections) and searchable by keyword. (You can search both the books' descriptive information and the full-text of the books themselves.) ASCII text of the books as well as images of the books' pages are available.
