In August 1776, General George Washington's army faced off against over 20,000 British and Hessian soldiers at the Battle of Brooklyn. It was almost the end of the war. But thanks to a series of desperate bayonet charges by a single heroic regiment from Maryland, known as the "Immortal 400," Washington was able to retreat and regroup.

The History of the Maryland Regiments submitted by GJBarnett2 on June 20, 2021, 7:56pm The remarkable and little-known history of the Maryland troops who fought throughout the Revolutionary War and often formed the backbone of the Continental Army. Perhaps a bit overly-detailed but well worth a read.
