#6: Montgomery C. Meigs, Part 2 - Master Builder of the Union Army

I'd love to hear your thoughts - send me a text here

This is the second of our two-part story about the life of Montgomery Meigs. Many people with high-profile positions in the US Civil have praised  Meigs as an unsung hero of the Civil War, saying without his expert management of Union logistics, the war could have had a very different outcome. He continued to leave his mark on Washington, DC after the war - overseeing the growth of Arlington National Cemetery, the expansion of the Smithsonian Institution, and his "Big Red Barn."

This Week's Ghosts of Arlington are:

1. US Army Brevet Major General and Brigadier General Montgomery C. Meigs (Section 1, Grave 1-EH)
2. Louisa Rodgers Meigs (Section 1, Grave 1-EH)
