The Pafapet Where President Lincoln
Was Under Fire

The District Commissioners have received
a copy of the resolution adopted at a recent
meeting of the Brightwood Avenue Citizens
Association. recommending that the prop
erty from and including Fort Stevens and
the old rifle trenches to Rock Creek Park
be secured by the United States or the
District, and that they be properly marked
and sacrediy preserved. The resolution,
which was introduced by Mr.. w. " Cox,
recited that Abraham Lincoln stood on the
ramparts Of Fort Stevens, under fire. en-
eouraging the soldiers of the Union army to
deeds of valor, the first and only time a
President of the United States was ever ac-
tually in command of any army in battle"
the occasion being during july 1854, when
this fort, ably defended, saved the capital
from invasion when threatened by Gen.
Jubal Early"
The association believes that what re-
mains Of these silent reminders of the war
of the rebellion should be preserved as a
monument to the bravery Of the American
soldier and to a united north and south.
Mr.. Cox has signifled, In writing, his inten-
ton to dedicate portion of the old earth
works to the United States or the District,
on condition that other owners of property
adjoining the old fort do the same he be-
ing willing to include that part OF the papa
pet on which Lincoln stood while under
fire. the point identified by Gen. Horatio
G. Wright the commander of the 9Th Corps.
In acknowledging the receipt of a copy Of
the resolution. the Commissioners say they
thank the association and Mr.. Cox for :he
public spirit shown, assuring him and the
association that they will be glad to CO.
operate in securing the result desired.
