Scene of the Execution

Submitted by Sassenach on Mon, 08/20/2007 - 7:02pm.

A photograph taken after the hanging has been on display in the basement bar of the Officer's Club at Ft McNair -- as I recall, in the alcove outside the restrooms.

 

Have you ever checked out

Have you ever checked out the Prints and Photographs webpage of the Library of Congress? It has thos of photos like these, and quite a few of Atlanta after Sherman.
