  • On the night of October 16th 1859 a party of 17 armed men led by the militant abolitionist John Brown crossed the Potomac River over the B&O railroad bridge to seize the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry and its stockpile of 100,000 rifles and muskets. With these weapons, Brown intended to facilitate an armed slave uprising that would begin in Virginia and move South along the Blue Ridge as word of the revolt spread. The raid was initially successful. Brown's men seized the railroad bridge, rounded up the town's watchmen, cut the telegraph wire and seized the arsenal complex (guarded by a single sentry) without incident. It all went downhill from there. <br />
<br />
Brown's entire plan hinged on the assumption that slaves in the surrounding countryside would flock to him after receiving word of the raid. However, no slaves were made aware of the planned attack, and consequently Brown quickly found himself surrounded in the morning not by eager runaway slaves but by angry townspeople and militia. Volleys were exchanged and hostages taken as Brown and his men retreated into the Arsenal's engine house (known today as John Brown's Fort)  barricading themselves inside. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, An eastbound B&O train stopped by Brown's men earlier that morning was allowed to continue forward, whose conductor quickly wired a telegram reporting the raid to officials in Baltimore. In a matter of hours, Washington was alerted to the attack. President Buchanan dispatched a detachment of U.S. Marines led by Col. Robert E. Lee; future commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, to end the siege and capture John Brown. The Marines arrived in Harper's Ferry the next day. Brown refused to surrender himself in exchange for the lives of his remaining men, and the marines stormed the engine house to take Brown prisoner.

  • Located 14 miles upstream from DC, Great Falls lies along the Atlantic Seaboard Fall Line where the Piedmont Plateau meets the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The series of cascades descend a total of 76 feet over less than a mile, making it the steepest fall line rapids of any river on the Eastern Seaboard. The falls themselves were created over thousands of years dating from the last ice age when the sea level dropped, resulting in the Potomac carving deep into the surrounding rock as it made its way to the Chesapeake.

  • The road leading to the lighthouse of Point Lookout State Park in St. Mary's County, MD. A few hundred yards down this road is the former site of Camp Hoffman, a prisoner of war camp for confederates during the Civil War. Of the some 50,000 rebel soldiers who passed through its gates, approximately 4000 would die of disease and starvation. Consequently, many ghost stories have emanated from Point Lookout, one of which involves this stretch of road. Many prisoners reportedly would fake illness in order to be admitted to the adjacent Hammond Hospital where security was lighter and escape more possible. Prisoners would do this, only to expose themselves to disease in the sick wards and die in the surrounding woods shortly after making their escape. Various motorists coming down this road claim to have witnessed a man in gray tattered clothing sprinting across the road and into the forest, usually seen in the rear view mirror and always in the direction away from the camp sight.

  • The stone piers on the left are what remains of the original B&O Railroad bridge which was burned in 1861 by Confederates before marching South to converge with other rebel units to defend an important railroad junction from Union capture. The battle of Bull Run (as it was called by the Union, Manassas by the Confederacy; Union battles were typically named after rivers and tributaries, whereas Confederates named them after nearby towns and railroads) would be the first major battle of the Civil War.

  • A great blue heron stands on the edge of the C&O Canal at dusk. As seen from along the towpath at Great Falls in Potomac, MD. <br />
<br />
The C&O Canal was created in the 1830's in an effort to connect the Ohio River Valley frontier with the East Coast. However, trains were beginning to come onto the scene around the time of construction. Beginning with the B&O Railroad based out of Baltimore, trains could carry much larger cargos than canal boats, travel faster and be constructed far easier than digging and dredging canals. Construction was halted at Cumberland Maryland, 100 miles west of Washington, as the railroad arrived at Pittsburgh, making the canals original purposes obsolete. Nonetheless, the canal was widely used for transportation of raw materials such as coal from mines in West Virginia. The canal fell into disuse by the 20th century, and the National Parks Service purchased the canal in the 1930's.
