Edgar Lee Masters inquiry leads to Frederick City Hall
In Frederick editor Edward S. Delaplains account, poet Edgar Lee Masters engages local researchers to uncover city records. The inquiry highlights the 1890s city government, the role of City Attorney Pampel, the 1898 New Charter, and the political shift that brought Republican mayor Chilton and a changed aldermanic board.
