A bit of Fort Stevens

The previously mentioned focus project that is based on the Civil War Defenses of Washington has many very notable places involved. One of these places, and that has recently turned into a place of interest is Fort Stevens. Fort Stevens is probably the most well known fort constructed solely for the Civil War. It's most well known as the site of the only place a sitting United States President came under fire in a time of war. Confederate snipers took aim on the President as he was walking the parapets of Fort Stevens. I'm including one site map of the remains, and with this I may have to sign off for a bit and post little more until I get some major work finished.

I also found a really great quote from a book I'm including as well.
