This was one OF the innumerable fortresses
clustered about the city. It stood near
Rock Creek, and protected the road leading
into the city past the Soldiers Home.
Quickly CHANGING along the works, which
stretched in formidable array to the right
hand and TO the left, he was convinced
that they were "feebly Manned For an

but accomplished. Then he ordered Cen
