  • FORT STRONG on ARLINGTON HEIGHTS by ANNE C
    FORT STRONG ON ARLINGTON HEIGHTS By ANNE C. WEBB During the Civil War, Fort Strong, or DeKalb as it was first called, was an important part of the system of defenses around Washington, D.C. In all there were 68 forts around Washington, 22 in what is now Arlington County. Some 18,000 men were stationed in Arlington, a community whose normal population at the time was 1,400. 1 The fort was first named for Johann Kalb, a Revolutionary War general known as "Baron deKalb."2 He was born in Germany, but served for many years in the French Army and was sent on a secret mission to the British colo­ nies by the Due de Choiseul in 1768. With the outbreak of the war between Great Britain and its American colonies, he was engaged by Silas Deane as a major-general. His protege, Lafayette, was also engaged to fight for the Americans. General de Kalb died in the Battle of Camden in August 1780. 3 Fort DeKalb was renamed Fort Strong on November 4, 1863,4 after Major­ General George C. Strong, who had died July 30, 1863, of wounds received in an assault on Fort Wagner, Charleston harbor, S.C. General Strong was from Vermont. He had been graduated from West Point in 1857 and was only 30 when he died. 5 With the beginning of hostilities between North and South at Fort Sumter in April of 1861, the capital city of Washington was put in a very difficult position. Virginia would undoubtedly secede, leaving the Federal City facing a hostile shore without any strong natural defenses.

  • COLUMBIA PIKE - SOME HISTORY by Sara J
    COLUMBIA PIKE - SOME HISTORY By Sara J. Collins and Ruth W. Stewart Early Years "The first travelways in this area were those pounded out by big game: mammoths, buffalo, and the like. The Indians used these trails and developed others of their own. In general, these were on high ground so that travelers - animal and human - could overlook the surrounding territory and watch for enemies . .. Only gradually was a system of public roads developed." 1 Columbia Pike had its beginnings in 1808 as Columbia Turnpike Road. Stimulated by the building of the Long Bridge across the Potomac (in the area of 14th Street Bridge), The Columbia Turnpike Company was chartered to build a road to join the already constructed Little River Turnpike in Fairfax County. Since Arlington County was then Alexandria County of the District of Columbia, the company was chartered by Congress. Virginia chartered a Fairfax Turnpike Company to continue the road beyond the District line. A turnpike was a major road constructed by a private company that was authorized to charge tolls for its use. These were collected at toll houses where the road was barred by a long pole or pike, which was turned to ·allow passage once the toll was paid. "That these early turnpikes were not the superhighways of today may be inferred from the stipulations the Virginia General Assembly found it necessary to lay down in 1817. Every turnpike was to be: 60 feet wide at least, eighteen feet of which shall be well covered with gravel or stone where necessary and at all times be kept firm and smooth,

Considering that AHS’s two historic properties are old and in constant need of maintenance, bearing the full burden of their upkeep presents a challenge to an all-volunteer organization with a limited budget. AHS and most of its regional counterparts are similar in many respects, combining a mix of lectures, publications, tours and special events. The challenges also are similar, including a limited (and often aging) membership base; relatively few new, younger members; weak income strains; small boards of directors; and no paid staff.

(AECOM) of Arlington County, Virginia conducted a cultural resources survey of Lee Highway (US Route 29), in Arlington County, between January 2019 and February 2020. The Lee Highway Cultural Resources Survey is a component of the larger “Plan Lee Highway” project, a long-range plan and comprehensive vision for the Lee Highway corridor conducted by AECOM for the CPHD. The Lee Highway Cultural Resources Survey consisted of the following tasks: 1) Meetings; 2) Background Research; 3) Field Investigation; and 4) Report of Findings. The survey was conducted by AECOM’s Secretary of the Interior (SOI)-qualified architectural historians, who attended numerous in- person and telephone meetings with CPHD staff as well as three public meetings, and submitted weekly progress reports to the CPHD during the field work phase. Working with both CPHD staff and the general public, AECOM developed a list of 120 resources (buildings, structures, objects, and sites) within the Plan Lee Highway study area to be researched, surveyed, and documented either at the reconnaissance level (105) or in-depth level (15).

While the extent of these ac- tivities was uncertain at that time, it was clear that Ames, an em- ployee of the CIA's Directorate of Operations for 31 years, was in a position to have done grievous harm. The Committee, like most Americans, was eager to know pre- cisely what Ames had done and how these espionage activities had escaped detection for nine years.
