CCASM would like to thank Bob Weiss for donating two publications by Calvert Posey to the CCASM Library. The publications "The Creek of the Nanjemoy" published in 1982 (includes a map of the various sites on Nanjemoy Creek) and "How the Indians of Maryland Affected Its Early Settlement" published in 1969.
The early dates indicate that the terminology and some perceptions may not be current and that there are no photographs except on the cover of the one publication. Even so these booklets were written from the perspective of someone living in the area and are interesting. Of note, in the dedication of the Najemoy Creek publication Calvert wrote "in memory of my good friend Chief Turkey Tayac and to all the members of the Piscataway Nation, both those who are here and those who have gone before".

Bob also gave us several mini-booklets with drawings of eight points from different time periods. He does give the caveat "not bound by facts", but there is a lot of information for a little booklet.
