3 A lone courageous man, searching aimlessly, ventured far in to the wilderness of Maryland, to a land where no white man had ever been before. Here the air was fresh and Clear, and Cool streams ba bbled tranquilly as they wended their way over the gently rolling Coun tryside. The land was Covered with lush green forest where game abounded. He had found a savage paradise, a wild, untamed land, far from the Civiliza tion he had known. But this man Could not be frightened. He Claimed the land as his own, and upon it he built a Crude log Cabin. From this single man and his single ca bin, grew what is known today as Westminster.
