  • Fort Totten Battery, U
    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 24, 1974, Number 5 LP-0826 FORT TOTTEN BATTERY, U. S. Government Reservation, Willets Point, Bayside, Queens. Built 1362-1864; Supervising Engineer: !'Jilliam Petit Trowbridge. Landmark Site: Borough of Queens Tax ~1ap Block 5917, Lot 1, in part, consisting of the land on which the described improvement is situated. On September 25, 1973, the Landmarks Preservation CoMmission held a ,public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Fort Toften Battery and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 8). The hear­ ing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A representative of the United States Army testified as to the current status of the Battery. There were no speakers in opposition to desienation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Fort Totten Battery is one of the most impressive and monumental sights in Queens. Its superior stone construction, rarely surpassed in this country, con­ tains a number of the important innovations used in the Third or Totten System of United States seacoast fortifications that were built between 1817 and 1864. The First System of seacoast fortifications was begun in 1794 when it seemed that the United States might be drawn into the European wars that followed the French Revolution. The Second System, which started in 1807 under the threat of war with Britain and ended with the l'Tar of 1812, is important because it marks the first time that American-born and trained engineers built fortifications on a large scale. Unlike the first two systems which had been built in response to external threats, the Third System of seacoast fortifications was begun in 1817 during a period of peace.

  • Joseph Gilbert Totten
    MEMOIE JOSEPH GILBERT TOTTEN. 1788-1864. BY J. G. BARNARD. BEAD AT THE •WASHINGTON SESSION, JAN. 0,1866. BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF JOSEPH GILBERT TOTTEN. ME. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN or THE ACADEMY :— In conformity with a clause of the Constitution of this Academy, and in obedience to your instructions, I am here to render the tribute of a formal biographical notice in commemoration of one who was numbered among our most venerable and most honored associates. If, in the language of one of our body, on a previous and similar occasion, "it is no unreasonable assumption that public benefit and individual incentives may be derived from the history of any man whose scientific services have rendered him worthy of admittance to your number," that assumption must have a peculiar force when it applies to one who has "finished his course," and has filled a life, protracted beyond the usual term, with scientific labors of no ordinary variety and magnitude. It is but little more than two years since we first met for the great and important work of organizing this National Academy, and with us—of our number, if not personally present—were "both the gray-headed and very aged men." But, alas! these, like autumnal leaves, are rapidly falling away, and already the places of a Totten, a Hitchcock, and a Silliman know them no more, save in the records of their lives and deeds, and in the grateful memories of their associates. What a trio of names, glorious in the annals of science, is this! Well may they be ineentives to us, who yet remain to strive that we may worthily replace them, and establish for this Academy a reputation for usefulness and science which their honored bearers have acquired for themselves.

  • Out of the Attic
    Office of Historic Alexandria City of Alexandria, Virginia Out of the Attic Battery Rodgers Alexandria Times, June 3, 2010 Images: Battery Rodgers. Photos, Andrew J. Russell, Library of Congress. everal installations in the Defenses of Washington, the ring of forts built around Washington, D.C., to protect the federal capital during the Civil War, were located close to and in Alexandria. S Unlike Fort Ellsworth and Fort Ward, which were positioned on higher inland elevations to the west, Battery Rodgers was located along the Potomac River, just south of the existing city limits. Battery Rodgers was named for George W. Rodgers, a U.S. naval captain who was killed in 1863 during an attack on Fort Wagner at Charleston, S.C. Battery Rodgers was strategically positioned on a bluff at Jones Point, on the western side of the Potomac with Fort Foote, located about two miles south on the opposite side in Maryland. In this location, Battery Rodgers was able to guard against Confederate ships on the Potomac and enemy approaches by land to the south. Plans for the water battery, as it was sometimes referred to, included a 185-foot-long main face, five 200-pounder Parrott rifles, one 15-inch Rodman gun, and two magazines. In this 1864 photograph, the door to one of those magazines is visible on the left, as is the Rodman gun. This gun large enough for a person to crawl inside it and at least one man was photographed inside doing so. Additional facilities for this fortification included barracks, a mess hall, prison, hospital and slaughterhouse.

Early's Raid on Washington, DC, the threat to the nation's capital diminished considerably. Many units formerly stationed at one of the forts in the Defenses of Wash- ington found themselves in the field, most likely in the Army of the Potomac, and possibly converted from artillery to infantry. No additional Confederate invasions or attacks on the Defenses of Washington oc- curred. 1 After the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia's surrender at Appomattox, VA, on April 9, 1 865, the Defenses ofWashington performed its last military function of the Civil War. In the midst of Washington's exuberant celebrations, "The chain of forts around the city, and batteries of field artillery between, made a ring of cannons around the city which were fired in rotation for several hours.

    Washington’s Civil War Defenses hen Dickinson visited Forts Ward and Barnard in 1918, they were already sixty-year-old ruins, but visible. Today, Washington’s Civil War forts are almost Wone hundred and fifty years old and when extant, barely visible. The earthwork forts, whose trenches Dickinson captured in his Fort Barnard drawing, are far softer mounds today, almost indistinguishable from their surrounding landscape, and in the case of Fort Barnard, nothing remains at all. It became a public park and playground at the intersection of today’s South Pollard Street and Walter Reed Drive in Arlington. Fort Ward, on the other hand, became a City of Alexandria historic site, and as a result, is the only fort with exten- sive reconstruction and a museum with interpretive programs. Arlington’s Fort Whipple The Union army’s defeat at the Battle of Bull Barnard’s report described Fort Barnard as was the only fortification location to become a permanent military establishment—today’s Run (Manassas) in July 1861, demonstrated the occupying a commanding position. “It covers the Fort Myer. urgent need for a well-trained army and far greater head of ravines, in which large bodies of troops can On April 12, 1861, the Civil War began with the battle of Fort Sumter.
