The Dahlgren Raid

[Jim Garrett]

I loved "Come Retribution" and have read it twice and use it for reference. The book mentions a couple of ancestors, so it makes it that much more interesting. On an interesting side note. Admiral Dahlgren had his son's leg entombed in a section of the wall surrounding the Washington Navy Yard. There was a plaque placed on the wall that commemerated the entombment. Over the years, the place of entombment have changed, however, the historian at the Navy Yard said that there was never any proof the the leg ever reposed behind the plaque in any of the locations.
