George F. Bragg's Men of Maryland (1914) is a collection of biographical sketches of the most significant African Americans from Maryland, including abolitionists, religious leaders, and politicians. Despite its name, the book also features sketches about women, most notably Harriet Tubman and Frances Ellen Watkins Harper. To introduce the main body of the text, Bragg includes essays on the history of black slaves and freedmen in Maryland. He concludes with a "Word of Encouragement," letters, and the Anti-Slavery Society's constitution.
