Possible Naval Yard Bridge photo?

Roger - I can't find any reference to a Camp Lincoln, but of course there was a Fort Lincoln; but it was/is on the other side of Washington (Northeast vs. Southeast). Parts of it still exist within Fort Lincoln Cemetery. It would have been too far from Alexandria, I would think, because Ellsworth's men were sent into that city to occupy it as soon as Virginia announced secession. Camp Stoneman would have been much closer to Alexandria and also to Saint Elizabeth's.

Also, Ellsworth was killed in May, and Ft. Lincoln was not established until the summer and "dedicated" in September of 1861. I also found a hitch about Stoneman and the cavalry depot. The depot didn't come along until later when it was moved from Camp Davis in Virginia. Too much edumacation is getting me confused.

Jim - The Surratt House has taken several bus tours onto the Navy Yard, and it is very interesting. We were in good with one of their volunteers who gave wonderful tours. I can't remember his name, but I'm sure he has retired by now. During the 1970-90 period, I think half of Prince George's County worked at either the Navy Yard or the Naval Research Center.
