but there were no electives to man the
forts. Fort Stevens was one OF so ad-
mirable artillery emplacements which
had been built two years before TO
assure Congress that the Capital was
protected. Without men to garrison
them, they were about as reassuring as
the wooden gun Representative Cooley
Office Building.
The entire line between Rock Greek
and the East Branch, as the Anacoetia
River was then called was picketed and
garrisoned by one regiment OF Ohio 100

The War Office was just learning how
to run war-it had no idea of how to
conduct a battle. A plethora of generals
confused the line Of command as general
officers left their desks in the Quarter
masters Department, the courts-martial
and ordnance and went out to the front.
Piney Branch Greek was to be . sec

master clerks was assembled there

rived there at noon and reported to him
there was only one man in the place.
I'VE marched single file into the fort
from the left side. The Confederates
were watching us. They though a much
larger force had garrisoned the place"
I reminded the general that one writer
had likened the cloud of dust they kicked
up to the cackling of the skcred geese
that saved Rome from the Gauls.
1t Didn't Save Washington
That isn't right. 1t might have saved
us from fight that evening. But it
didn't save Washington. The rebels
never could have passed us at that point
once we fled into the fort. They tried
to the next day.
