"FIRE PREVENTION WEEK IS EVERY WEEK" Sign near East Oliver & Harford Roads, Baltimore, Maryland
Father Andrew White, a Jesuit Priest and one of the first Maryland settlers from England, observes the Susquehannock,
Choptank, Nanicoke, Piscataway, Nanticoke, and Assateaque Indians: "The natural wit of these men is good, conceiving a
thing quick to. They excell in smell and taste, and have a far sharper sight than we have."
The first woman to ask
for the right to vote in the land we know of today called The United States of America came in 1648. Her name, Margaret Brent,
the assistant to the ailing Lord of Baltimore, Leonard Calvert. He decided to have her represent him in The Country's House.
She asks for actually 2 votes, One to represent Calvert, and one for being a land owner. "Vote.....and Voyce."
