Military Units at the Arsenal on July 7, 1865
I hope ya'll aren't getting sick of me yet....! Blush

Since we're on top of the hanging anniversary tomorrow - here is a list of the units I found stationed at the Arsenal on July 7th. I think that a gentleman was looking for that last week?

Here's what I found -

"Early in the morning, guards were stationed along Pennsylvania Avenue south and around the Arsenal ground. The 1st and 4th Regiments of Hancock's Corps, and a large detachment of the 60th Ohio were marched to the prison. The 1st Hancock stationed in the South Yard, the 4th upon the walls and at the doors and the 6th Ohio around the outside." (Special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune and New Orleans Times, July 15, 1865)
