Excerpt from Our Police: A History of the Baltimore Force From the First Watchman to the Latest Appointee In the year 1634, Leonard Calvert, who had-been appointed lieutenant-general and Governor of Maryland by his brother, Lord Baltimore, together with another brother, George Cal vert, and about two hundred colonists, arrived in the new province and settled at St. Mary's. It was not, however, until the year 1659 that any steps were taken towards the systematic settlement of Baltimore county, although it is not unlikely that some of the more adventurous spirits, following in the track of Captain John Smith and Lord Baltimore, had pushed ahead and settled about the head waters of the Patapsco. In the year named Baltimore county was established. Its limits, as then fixed, were far more extensive than at present and embraced all of Harford and Carroll counties and large portions of Anne Arundel, Howard and Frederick. At that time the entire population of Maryland was about twelve thousand and that of the newly created county but about two thousand.

Before the Civil War, George Proctor Kane had been a businessman, thespian, political appointee, philanthropist and militiaman. During the war, as Baltimore's chief of police, he harbored the divided loyalties familiar to the border states--Southern in his sentiments yet Northern in his allegiances. As the city's top lawman, he sought to reform Baltimore's "Mobtown" image. He ensured that President-elect Lincoln, passing through on the way to his inauguration, was not assassinated. He protected Union troops marching to defend Washington, D.C. He was eventually imprisoned as a Southern sympathizer, denied habeas corpus as his captors transferred him from prison to prison. This book recounts Kane's enigmatic public life before and during the Civil War, his Confederate activities after prison and his return to serve as mayor of Baltimore.
