About this product

Product Information

We all have referred to the resulting Mason Dixon Line in casual conversation as the imaginary line that divides Pennsylvania and Maryland, or perhaps as the border between the free and slave states during the Civil War. But what do we actually know about Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, the two British mathematicians and surveyors that mapped out the line between 1763 and 1767? And how does the story involve the Penn and Calvert families? Author Jack Layton decided to investigate. Over the course of several years he literally walked the line, recording his observations and taking revealing photographs along the entire route. The results¿informative, entertaining, ironic and amusing¿form the heart of this book. Luckily for us, Charles Mason was a meticulous man who kept a detailed journal of his remarkable experiences in the New World. Mr. Layton used his daily record, kept during the three years that he and his partner spent traipsing through the mountains and valleys of America, as the backbone for his book, with liberal use of direct quotations. Amazingly, some of what the men saw and described has not changed much in the intervening two-and-a-half centuries, while other sights are not recognizable at all today. Enjoy a trip back to colonial America. Join Jack Layton as he takes a walk in the footsteps of history, following the path blazed by two men whose names and the boundary they surveyed are today a household word¿the Mason Dixon Line.
