Mr.. Henry E. Davis whose tender of a
very interesting wartime map was noted in
The Star recently, today made the follow
ing statement concerning that map:
The executive committee of the forth
coming Grand Army encampment has in
contemplation the distribution with it's
souvenir book of a most interesting souve-
mir of the civil war This is a Hthographic
reproduction of a Typographical map pre-
pared in 1862, showing the original District
of Columbia and environments, together
with all the Notifications in and around the
city of Washington.
The original map was published by a
New York firm, since extinct. and is in col
ors, showing not only all of the fortifica-
tions, but also all of the eminences around
| the city. The military authorities, learning
OF its production, caused the destruction CT
the stone from which it was printed and
sought to effect the destruction of every
copy of It, 1t is believed that every COPY
was destroyed except one in the War De
partment and one which Is In the possession
of a resident of this city, and 1t is through
the latter that the committee hopes to be
able to procure the contemplated reproduc-
tion.
THE original map is thirty four inches
wide and thirty inches in height and is
most interesting historically, inasmuch as
1t not only shows the fortifications and en-
inences mentioned but also indicates them
pY their names as known at the date of the
map"
