quigley_brown brings us this colorful image from Saturday’s Civil War reenactment at Fort Stevens near the northern tip of the District. The reenactment — not the only one in the area this weekend — honored the 145th anniversary of the Battle of Fort Stevens, in which Union soldiers defeated Confederate forces who were looking to wrest control of Washington, D.C. President Abraham Lincoln personally viewed the battle on horseback, and was almost hit by Confederate fire — after they retreated across the Potomac, Confederate Lt. Gen. Jubal A. Early claimed a moral victory: “We didn’t take Washington but we scared Abe Lincoln like hell.”
