SUMMARY:Carroll 250 Speaker Series: Finding the Maryland 400: Maryland’s First War Heroes presented by Owen Lourie
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF VENUE FOR THIS EVENT\nFinding the Maryland 400: Maryland’s First War Heroes\nIn August 1776, the Continental Army suffered a terrible defeat at the Battle of Brooklyn, the first major battle of the Revolutionary War. The battle nearly saw the complete destruction of the American army, but a desperate stand by a contingent of Maryland soldiers helped to stave off the British and allow the Americans to fight another day.\nLearn more about these soldiers, now called the Maryland 400, and hear first-hand accounts of their actions at the battle, including comments from George Washington’s aide Tench Tilghman, a native of Talbot County. This talk will also discuss the lives of several soldiers from the unit, exploring them and their families during and after the Revolutionary War\nThis talk is drawn from research which is the basis for a forthcoming book about the Maryland 400 and the experiences of Maryland’s soldiers during the war. To learn more, visit https://msamaryland400.com/ ( https://msamaryland400.com/ ).\nOwen Lourie is a historian at the Maryland State Archives specializing in Maryland government and military history during the colonial era and early republic. He holds an M.A. in history from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and a B.A. from Kenyon College in American Studies. Owen is the director of Finding the Maryland 400, a research project studying the First Maryland Regiment.  He is the author of “Maryland’s Jews, Military Service, and the American Revolutionary Era: The Case of Elias Pollock,” an article which appeared in The Journal of Southern Jewish History and is currently at work on a social history of the Maryland Line, chronicling the soldiers of the Maryland 400 during the Revolutionary War.\nRegistration is required.
