terest in the historic sites in and around
the city, and have found a great deal
OF pleasure In locating them. Recently
l took the Forest Glen car on Georgia
avenue, and, as we were passing. my
companion. an old soldier. pointed out
what he said was the site OF old Fort
Stevens, which, he declared. had been
leveled and Is now occupied by govern
ment buildings. Across the road was
the battlefield, and in what is now the
national cemetery President Lincoln
stood viewing the fight. All Of which 1
found to be quite a popular belief.
On my return / refreshed my memory
with some facts of its history
The glimpse Of famous locality from

so the next day l returned to the place
indicated to Identify the locations. but
found no sign OF the fort. Instead, a man
who was working on the ground con-
firmed the story of the fort being leveled
and the hill being graded down for the
three-story building, part of which is
used for a school for army nurses. the
other. barracks for soldiers: westward

number of Confederate soldiers during
July Hip. 1854 At that time 1t was

by grading down the hill for the site of
