Items from the 1^st Maryland are very desirable as the 1^st Maryland U.S. met the 1^st Maryland C.S. several times during the war, to make the conflict truly brother against brother!  John A. Burton, a native of Baltimore, age 27^th, enlisted at the very start of the war on 5/18/1861.  This early in the war, Baltimore was truly a divided city, having many southern sympathasizers.  Burton mustered into Co. D of the 1^st Maryland, staying in his full three years and mustering out on 5/19/1864.  He became a P.O.W. on 5/23/1862 at Front Royale, Virginia.  The stencil is very solid with Burton’s name and Regiment surrounded by stars.
