 Within radius of 75 miles of Washington. nearly all of the most important battles of the Civil War were fought. hence the contiguous territory is historically interesting in the highest degree. Included in the list of nearby combats was Fredericks- burg with its tcrTific fighting. Decem Der I3. 1862; the great battle of Chancellorsvilie May and 4. 1863. including the lively action at Salem Church: Mine Run. fought in Decem- Der. 1863. and the gigantic battling in the Wilderness and at SpottsylvanIa from May 5 to May 20. 1864. These battlesrounds are all within GO miles of Washington.
 Antietam, Maryland, where on Sep tember IT. 1862. was recorded the biOodiest day in American history. Is about 70 miles west from Washing ton. A few miles east of Antietam are South Mountain and Crampton's Gap. where bitter battles were fought three days before Antietam- Harper's Ferry. the scene of the surrender of General Miles Union army two days before Antietam.

its wartime simplicity and still bear ing the scars of battle; Cub-Run- Bridge and Hill and the famous Stone bridge. where the first gun Was fired in the first battle of Bull Run.
 The battle-ground of Fort Stevens, located in the immediate suburbs of Washington. is easily accessible to wis itors during the encampment week, and is pleasant walk from the cen tral sections of Washington. This locality is as picturesque as it is his torical. On parapet of Fort Stevens, the great wartime President, Abraham Lincoln, stood by the side of General Horatio G. Wright amid the whizzing mimic balls from the guns of Earlys infantrymcn. watching with grave and pensive countcnaDce the progress of the battle. After an army surgeon, standing near President Lincoln. had been hit by a mimic ball and severely wounded. General Wright entreated the President not to expose his life to the missiles of the Con federates. But the great Lincoln seemed oblivious to his surroundings, and finally General Wright said with show of frmness: MT. President, l know you are Commander of the Armies of the United States but 1 am commander here, and as you are not safe where you are standing, l order you to come down." President Lincoln smiled al General Wrights earnest ness and slowly stepped down from the parapet. Even then, General Wright said, he would persist in stand ing up and exposing his talk form.
 That old Lincoln parapet at Fort Stevens stands today and for history's sake it will be preserved in memory of Lincoln, and as a tribute to the American soldier. Near the Fort Stevens battle-ground there is a little cemetery in which repose the remains of some of the gallant fellows who gave up their lives there in defense of the United States Capital
 Historic Arlington Cemetery.
 A point of pathetic interest to vls- itors will be Arlington National Gene tery. where sleep thousands of Union and Confederate warriors, and within whose ha;lowed precincts stands the ancient Custis-Lee Mansion in all its old-time glory. Arlington is but few minutes ride from Washington, across the Potomac, and thence to the Vir- ginla Hills in the near background, dotted here and there by tho leveIled remains of wartime defenses. includ- ing Fort Whipple, now Fort Myer, where are Quartered several troops of regular cavalry and batteries of light

The battle was fought or the Mclean estate. the owner of the land being also owner of the Mclean house and property at Appomattox, where General Lee surrendered four years later.
