Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. FTLIN_990125_03.JPG: Old Spring House. This venerable building dates back to the year 1683, when one of the early colonists built his home on the overlooking hillside. The spring still feeds cool water to the trough inside the Spring House. This was the only method available in those days for cooling milk, butter, and other dairy products. This land was part of the original grant from Lord Baltimore to George Conn, and remained in the Conn family for more than 200 years. This is one of the oldest buildings in the state of Maryland.
2. FTLIN_990125_04.JPG: These earthworks are a portion of the original fortifications which made up Fort Lincoln. This fort was built during the summer of 1861 to serve as an outer defense of the city of Washington. It was named in honor of President Lincoln by General Order No 18... The brigade of Major General Joseph Hooker was the first to occupy this area. In immediate command of the fort was Captain T.S. Paddock. The Civil War cannon have been placed here through the courtesy of the Department of Defense to commemorate the auspicious occasion.

The spring still feeds cool water to the trough inside the spring house. This was the only method available in those days for cooling milk, butter, and other dairy products. This land was a part of the original grant from Lord Baltimore to George Conn, and remained in the Conn family for more than 200 years. This is one of the oldest buildings standing in the state of Maryland.

Description of Subject Matter: Ft. Lincoln Cemetery was named after Ft. Lincoln, one of the circle of forts which protected the Capital during the Civil War. The fort itself was located in DC but it included several protective batteries which ringed it. The ones located here were called Battery Jameson, the remains of which are still visible near the Old Spring house.
In 1792, a survey was made and the District of Columbia boundary marker NE No. 7 was placed here. Around here on August 24, 1814, the disastrous Battle of Bladensburg was fought here. The U.S. marines and flotillamen under the command of Commodore Joshua Barney failed to stop the advancing British and fled the scene, after which the British burned the capital city. In 1861, the property was seized by the United States Government for the location of Battery Jameson (named for Brig. Gen. Charles D. Jameson).
Fort Lincoln Cemetery was chartered in 1912 by an act of the Maryland General Assembly and presently contains 178 acres.

1999 photos: Since 1984, I've lived in Silver Spring, Maryland. From 1981 to 2002, photos were taken using a Pentax ME Super camera. From 1989 to 2002, I was doing all pictures as prints (instead of slides which I had grown up on). In 1997, at the age of 40, my photo obsession began and I started taking thousands of photos per year. In September, 2002, I switched to digital cameras and the number of photos exploded. Image quality is going to be variable because these are scans of slides and/or prints. The images shown here were scanned in two phases. In the early years of the website, I rescanned a selection of pre-digital images, all at fairly low quality settings. During the COVID pandemic, I launched the Great Rescanning Effort, rescanning ALL of my pre-digital images from various media (prints, slides, negatives, etc) at higher resolution and quality settings. Mutilple versions of images -- some from the initial scannning phase, some from prints, some from slides/negatives -- were posted so there are frequently duplicate images on the same page. At some point, I hope to have time to do a final review and get rid of the duplicates but that'll have to wait until all of the pre-digital images are finally posted. Trips this year: A week at a timeshare in Gordonsville, VA, two weeks in Tennessee, which included attending my first Fan Fair country music festival, and family visits to North Carolina and Florida.
