ture scholars"

to collect, compile and publish the
records of all residents of Maryland

information will not be glanced al
and discarded; rather it will be
thoroughly studied, indexed and pre-
served at the Maryland Historical
society The work will constitute a
lasting tribute to all those men anc
women who participated in the wal
