Maryland In Liberia is a historical book written by John H. B. Latrobe in 1885. The book describes the founding and development of the Maryland Colony in Liberia, a country in West Africa, by a group of free African Americans in the early 1800s. Latrobe, who was a lawyer and a member of the Maryland Colonization Society, provides a detailed account of the motivations behind the establishment of the colony, the challenges faced by the settlers, and their efforts to build a new society in a foreign land. He also discusses the political and economic relations between the colony and the Liberian government, as well as the social and cultural interactions between the settlers and the indigenous people.
