Arlington Cemetery; Walter Reed, William Rosecrans
The memorial in front is to Walter Reed, the Army pathologist and bacteriologist who demonstrated the role of the mosquito as carrier of the yellow fever.
In the row behind Reed is a memorial to William Rosecrans who led the Union Forces at Rich Mountain and Stone's River. He blundered at Chickamauga and Rosecrans was replaced while he army was getting surrounded at Chattanooga. |
