The History Press, Bookstore, The Washington Arsenal Explosion
Switching to another arsenal for a minute...you can now preorder the late Brian Bergin's book "The Washington Arsenal Explosion," which comes out next month. I can't wait for it. I wish I could have met Brian, but I'm glad that I have been in touch with his daughter Erin.
This is a great blog about different aspects about Washington DC during the war, which was of course a very busy place. I hope to see something about the Washington Arsenal in the future, although the penitentiary there is briefly mentioned as the place where the Lincoln assassination conspirators were kept and executed (and is supposedly haunted by Mary Surratt). Check it!
