Lincoln Assassination Conspiracy Trial Jeopardy

[L Verge]

And keeping it in the Lincoln assassination field: Walter Reed did much of his yellow fever experimentation at the post that is now Fort McNair (last "home" to the Lincoln conspirators). The swampy areas of the southern quadrants of D.C. were perfect for his investigations of mosquitos.

He also died on the post - A general hospital, predecessor to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, was located at the post from 1898 until 1909. Maj. Walter Reed found the area's marshlands an excellent site for his research on malaria. Reed's work contributed to the discovery of the cause of yellow fever. The major died of peritonitis after an appendectomy at the post in 1902. The post dispensary and the visiting officers' quarters now occupy the buildings where Reed worked and died. Source from Ft. McNair posting online.
