520    In 1638, John Lewger made a home in the wilderness of the 
       New World, in a place called Maryland. He named his house 
       St. John's, and for nearly eighty years, it was the center
       of an ambitious English plan to build a new kind of 
       community on American soil. Men and women lived and worked
       within its walls. Babies were born. Last breaths drawn. 
       St. John's walls witnessed the first stirrings of the 
       great struggles that would dominate the continent for the 
       next three centuries: The unimaginable wealth of the New 
       World's crops and natural resources. The promise of 
       religious tolerance under a new model of government. The 
       injustice of slavery. The betrayal of native peoples. The 
       struggle for equality between men and women. If St. John's
       walls could have talked, they would have spoken volumes of
       American history. And then the walls crumbled. One hundred
       years after it was built, St. John's House had been 
       abandoned. The buildings slowly deteriorated, returning to
       the Maryland soil to be plowed under by generations of 
       Maryland farmers. St. John's walls were silent for more 
       than two centuries, little more than ghosts haunting the 
       historical and archeological records. But they weren't 
       lost. Not entirely. Award-winning author Sally M. Walker 
       tells the story of how teams of scientists and historians 
       managed to hear the ghostly echoes of St. John's House and,
       over the course of decades of painstaking work, made them 
       speak their stories again.
