A Brief History of Accokeek, Maryland

Hard Bargain Farm, Accokeek, Maryland

According to Alice L. L. Ferguson: "All old Maryland places have names and we knew that ours must have one too, but the real estate agent ignored all questions. When we signed the deed we saw it for the first time. We were the owners of Hard Bargain. It is rather a nice name after you get used to it, but it is no name to use when you've taken apples to market. About 1800 someone had only dower rights to the farm but sold it just the same. In the course of time the unlucky purchaser found he did not own the place and had to buy it again. The only time we resented the name was many years later when we had a station wagon marked Hard Bargain. We discovered that everyone thought the perfectly good station wagon was no good and that we had named it in the same way that college boys call their forlorn jalopies lemons."
