Additional Details

With the Union army just barely clinging to order in the border state of Maryland, General Banks made this attempt to offer justice to those whose property was damaged by the occupying troops. A board was set up at Fort McHenry to adjudicate claims, which needed to be backed up by affidavits and proof of ownership. None traced at auction or in OCLC.
