Description of Pictures: While I was exploring boundary stones, I checked Find-a-Grave and realized there were some famous folk like Dorothy Height and Dick Gregory here but there was no map to show you where they were so I didn't get to see them.

Recognize anyone? If you recognize specific folks (or other stuff) and I haven't labeled them, please identify them for the world. Click the little pencil icon

underneath the file name (just above the picture). Spammers need not apply.

See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

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.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
