District of Columbia Daughters OF
the American Revolution are to have
a marker placed on the lower level P
Street Bridge across Rock Greek, on

old Boundary trail and an historic
incident of the Revolutionary War.
The French Legion under Lauzun,

contingent, assembled near Bladens-
burg, 1t is believed, followed an old
trail later known as the Boundary and
now as Florida avenue, on its march
to Georgetown. They crossed Rock
Creek at what Is now P street. The
date was September 10, 1881.
