This is the fourth volume compiled by Mr. Boyle containing 18th-century Maryland runaway servant ads posted in local newspapers. It follows runaways during the period of the American Revolution, 1775-1781.

Eighty percent of the runaways were males. In addition to an individual's age and whereabouts, the ads tell a great deal more about the character and physical appearance of runaways than we are accustomed to learning from most source records. These ads were compiled mainly from a half-dozen Maryland and Pennsylvania newspapers as well as from states as far north as Massachusetts.
