Who's good at tracking obscure details?

Thanks for the compliment. Nice additional comments Jim and your additional factoids are accurate as well. Annington is a neat old brick ediface which many pass and few recognize. Most miss it bc of the hill on which it sits. I was actually inside the home 30 years ago. I lived in Poolesville in the early 1970s and was an elected commissioner for a while. I think I mentioned above that Baker's body was laid out in the East Room of the White House. He was not laid out in the Capitol. Baker is indeed buried in the Presidio cemetery high on a hill. I photographed the site several years ago. His body was moved several times before finally resting in SF. I have been a student of Balls Bluff for many years and I have a nice collection of BB related artifacts including rare Baker CDVs. That is a fascinating engagement with quite a few elementary mistakes; perhaps the greatest of which is coordination.
