    The Linden Times A bi-weekly newsletter for the members & friends of the Calvert County Historical Society – March 19, 2021 This edition of The Linden Times is four pages in celebration of The Maryland 400. No, the Maryland 400 is not a NASCAR race held in Maryland; rather it is about Maryland’s first and most distinguished Revolutionary soldiers. The Maryland 400, also called “The Old Line” , were members of the 1st Maryland Regiment who repeatedly charged a numerically superior British force during the The Maryland 400 at the Battle of Brooklyn Revolutionary War’s Battle of Long Island, NY. As the leading conflict after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the fallen soldiers were the first to die as Americans defending their country, as opposed to colonial subjects rebelling against the monarchy. The Maryland 400 sustained very heavy casualties but allowed General Washington to successfully save the bulk of his nearly surrounded continental troops and evacuated them to Manhattan. This historic action is commemorated in the State of Maryland's nickname, “The Old Line State." The lineage for the Maryland Regiment can be traced to June 14, 1775, when military units were formed to protect the frontiers of western Maryland. In August of that year, another two companies assembled in Frederick, Maryland. They then marched 551 miles in 21 days to support General Washington’s efforts to drive the British out of Boston. Later, more Maryland militia companies, (armed with older, surplus British muskets and bayonets), were formed and then sent north to support Washington’s battles for New York City.

Watkins Department of Geological Sciences & Engineering University of Missouri-Rolla Presentation for History of Geology Division and History of the Earth Sciences Society Anniversary Celebration Annual Meeting Geological Society of America Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Tuesday October 24, 2006 At the Second Continental Congress in 1775 John Adams nominated George Washington to serve as CommandCommanderer-in-Chief of the ragtag American Army fighting the British in Boston. He promptly set off for Boston, where he oversaw the American effort to keep the British bottled up in Boston. After occupying Dorchester Heights with troops and canon, the British abandoned Boston and re- grouped in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Washington correctly surmised that the next British objective would be New York City, and moved his Army to New York to make preparations for the English onslaught. The ensuing Battle of Long Island and retreat from Brooklyn Heights would be the first time Washington commanded Continental forces in actual combat operations against the British. Between late June and early August 1776 the British landed on Staten Island with the largest amphibious force ever assembled in the 18th Century: 30 battleships with 1200 cannon, with 300 support vessels manned by 10,000 sailors, and embarking 32,000 ground troops.

  • Guided Tour of Maryland's Military Monuments
    Guided Tour of Maryland's Military Monuments This reference is intended to serve as a gateway to the understanding of all the brave Marylanders who dedicated their lives to ensure our collective security, prosperity and well-being. Home to one of the largest populations of veterans in the country, Maryland has played a unique role in United States military history that extends to the earliest days of our nation's formation. According to historians, Maryland first became known as the "Old Line State" when General George Washington chose the name as a tribute to the bravery of the Maryland troops during the Revolutionary War. At considerable loss of life, the "Old Line" Maryland troops protected the retreat of the Continental Army during the Battle of Brooklyn. Their courageous efforts helped save the Continental Army from assured destruction by the numerically superior British troops. The monument erected to commemorate the sacrifice of those brave Marylanders is included here. Entrance, 5th Regiment Armory City of Baltimore, Maryland In 2001 the World War I Memorial entrance of the Fifth Regiment Armory in Baltimore was restored by the Maryland Department of General Services with assistance from the Maryland Military Monuments Commission. The bronze sculpture by Hans Schuler features portraits of men who served in the 29th Division. Paint was removed from the sculpture and the copper door. The metals were cleaned and repaired, and given a protective coating to prevent corrosion. Fifth Regiment Armory entrance before conservation treatment.
