Soldiers, sailors, privateers, and patriots from every county in Maryland are covered. Also included are many pension abstracts (both accepted and rejected applications) and soldiers from Harford County militia companies whose names have not been published before. As with his other books, "this compilation is more than just a listing of names. Many patriots have genealogical data included with their respective entries and all information is fully documented. Also, all surnames are cross-referenced within the text and thus precludes the need for a separate index."

From the award-winning novelist and biographer Beverly Lowry comes an astonishing re-imagining of the remarkable life of Harriet Tubman, the “Moses of Her People.” Tubman was an escaped slave, lumberjack, laundress, raid leader, nurse, fund-raiser, cook, intelligence gatherer, Underground Railroad organizer, and abolitionist. In Harriet Tubman, Lowry creates a portrait enriched with lively imagined vignettes that transform the legendary icon into flesh and blood. We travel with Tubman on slave-freeing raids in the heart of the Confederacy, along the treacherous route of the Underground Railroad, and onto the battlefields of the Civil War. Integrating extensive research and interviews with scholars and historians into a rich and mesmerizing chronicle, Lowry brings an American hero to life as never before.
