Help tell the stories of the Maryland 400, Heroes of the Revolutionary War
In August 1776, Maryland’s soldiers saved the Continental Army at the Battle of Brooklyn, earning the nickname “Maryland 400.” They went on to fight in nearly every major battle of the war, gaining renown for their courage and discipline. Their story has never been fully told.
For more than 10 years, the Maryland State Archives, led by Senior Archivist Owen Lourie, has researched the Maryland soldiers who fought in the Battle of Brooklyn, writing biographies of each man who can be identified. This intensive project is now ready for publication as a book: Finding the Maryland 400. To learn more about the project and read about Maryland during the American Revolution, visit the project website https://msamaryland400.com.
Your support is needed to ensure the lives of the Maryland 400 are recognized during the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. This publication is entirely dependent on outside funding. Your donation to the Friends of the Maryland State Archives will help make this important work a reality.
Donate online or by check to Friends of the Maryland State Archives, 350 Rowe Blvd, Annapolis MD 21401. Please designate your gift for “Maryland 400.”
