In 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.
Learn 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.
This 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 about, visit https://msamaryland400.com/.
