But, of all that in some form survived, Alexandria has most suffered. It…has become essentially a military city. Its streets, its docks, its warehouses, its dwellings, and its suburbs have been absorbed to the thousand uses of war.” – George Alfred Townsend, Correspondent, New York Herald, 1861 “The War had not come visibly to spread fire and to shatter houses in the kindly old town, but it had bent shoulders and saddened hearts.” – Douglas Southall Freeman On this Civil War walking tour in Alexandria, Virginia, learn how the War impacted the city – a Southern town occupied by Federal troops throughout the war. This illustrated guide vividly recounts: The Tragedy at Marshall House, where the first Union officer was killed in the war.
