Baltimore, Ireland: A question
Attention, people of the Emerald Isle: A question remains. The answer would be aoppreciated, and so would a photograph:
Is it true that a statue of the First Lord Baltimore (George Calvert), presented to Baltimore, Ireland by the former mayor of Baltimore, Maryland (William Donald Schaefer) stands out in some farmer's field there, surrounded by sheep, all but abandoned, and regarded as something of a joke? Once upon a time I had a photograph of the thing and was told that the Irish in your Baltimore never appreciated the gift, Calvert symbolizing the oppressive past when British lords ruled the isle. Is it so?
Please, let us know.
