It's right down the street from Walter  Reed Hospital . This is where 40 some soldiers are buried.    And where Lincoln  came out  with his wife and surgeon  to watch the battle. While Union troops defended Washington  from being  out flanked by Confederate  troops.During the battle Lincoln ' s doctor was shot and died next to the president  and his wife.This could of been a major victory  for the south had Lincoln  been killed  that day. As it did have a major role as Lincoln ' s new doctor was young. And since Booths  shot to his head did not kill him right away. Maybe  had his surgeon  not been killed watching the battle he could of made a difference .[/QUOTE]
