How would I know who they were? Well, finding them was the leastof myproblems-because everywhereI think I've ever gone-in the United States,at least-l'vs found tracesof PrinceGeorgeans. In the ancientcemetery in the village of Roseville,Ohio-home of my grandparents, greatgrandparents, and two generationsbefore them-there is a huge gravestonewith the name"Grafton Duvall" carvedon it, as PrinceGeorge's a-soundingname as everthere couldbe. When I checkedHany Wright Newman'sbible of Duvall genealogyI found that this GraftonDuvall-one of a numberof men to bearthat nameover several generations-wasindeed a nativeof PrinceGeorge's County. When I moved to Mississippi,one of the first placesI went to visit was Natchez-for nearthere is a historical marker denotingthe site of what was known as the "Maryland Colony" early settlementof PrinceGeorgeans from the Aquascoarea who movedto the old Southwestin the early yearsof the 1800sto take advantageof the fertile soil and opportunitiesthere. PrinceGeorgeans have been heading West sincethe very beginning. PrinceGeorgeans were,indeed, some of the first Westerners-becausein the late 17thcentury, this unorganized,lightly-settled land betweenthe Patuxentand Potomac Rivers was the West. It was Maryland's frontier,where European settlement bumped up againstthe original Indianinhabitants. Stories of Indian raids on the AnacostiaRiver settlements;of Ninan Beall's Rangersw\o patrolledthe frontier line beyondthe river-are as dramaticas any storiesfrom the 19tncentury West of the Apacheand the Sioux.

  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.
