Virtual Lecture—Washington’s Immortals: The Maryland 400 and the Battle of Long Island

Award-winning author and historian Patrick K. O’Donnell commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Long Island that occurred on August 27, 1776. Gen. George Washington found his troops outmanned and outmaneuvered at the Battle of Long Island, but thanks to a series of desperate charges by a single heroic regiment, the First Maryland Regiment—famously known as the Maryland 400—Washington was able to evacuate his men and the nascent Continental Army lived to fight another day. In this talk, O’Donnell brings to life the remarkable men of this elite unit by discussing their role at the Battle of Long Island and other major engagements of the American Revolution.
