Introduction<br > To rclive history is an experience that is too often missed by the American people. F~<br >~tand where historical events， great and small， took place is an essential part of comprehend-<br >ng our I~eritage. It is an experience that heightens excitement， deepens understanding， and<br >~ves a breadth to historical knowledge that is otherwise unattainable. To encourage this<br >~xperience is the purpose of this book.<br > Many episodes are dealt with in this volume. Each in some way， as a part of our past， laas<br >~layed a role of some significance in years gone by. Each， too， was chosen because it can<br >~titl be seen today， ~rving as a living link with another time. It is hoped that in some small<br >way this book will inspire others to seek out and enjoy the precious heritage that is Mary-<br >land s past.<br > Thanks must go to many people for contributions to this writing. I would like to extend<br >my appreciation to the librarians of the Maryland Department of the Enoch Pratt Free<br >Library in Baltimore for their help in finding materials used. A special debt of gratitude is<br >owed to Mrs. Judy Oarr for painstakingly reading and critiquing the entire manuscript， and<br >to Ogden Donellan for typing the manuscript. Special thanks must also go to Mr. Thomas<br >Jones who， in addition to creating the illustrations and maps for this book， worked very<br >closely with me in all phases of compiling the work. And finally， of course， I must thank<br >my wife for tolerating the frustrations (on a wife s part) that go with the writing of a book.<br > CHARLES TITUS<br >
