This picture was taken by George N. Barnard in 1861 and shows Union soldiers on Mason's Island (now Theodore Roosevelt Island) in Arlington, Virginia, 1861. Behind them is the Potomac Aqueduct Bridge whose ruins are now on the upstream side of the Potomac Boat Club (DC side) where I rowed crew in High School. Georgetown University, where I went to graduate school, is on top of the hill. A much larger version of this picture can be found here.
