Winter Lecture Series: Brothers In Arms - The Revolutionary Service of James and Edmund Brice
O'Briens 113 Main Street, Annapolis, Maryland 21401
During the Revolutionary War, James Brice served as Captain of the Annapolis city militia and County Lieutenant of the Anne Arundel militia, positions that earned him the honorary title “Colonel.” But James wasn’t the only Colonel in the Brice family; his youngest brother, Edmund, a professionally-trained artist, was named a Lieutenant Colonel by Congress at the personal request of the Marquis de Lafayette. Senior Historian Glenn E. Campbell explores the fascinating life stories and wartime experiences of two brothers who joined the fight for American independence.
