Caption: Marker on Hicks Monument
Additional Description: Inscription on monument: "This monument, erected by the state in 1868, honors Thomas Holliday Hicks, a native and life resident of Dorchester County. Late in 1860 and early in 1861 as Maryland's first Civil War governor he opposed the doctrines of seccession and of coercion. In furtherance of his policy and resisting great pressure he refused for five months to call the legislature in special session. During the war he supported the Union."
