Vein-Marbled Tower
I spent my day off checking out some of the historical sites at Point Lookout, about 25 minutes away from my house. Point Lookout is located at the bottom of Maryland's peninsula and was a battle front during the Civil War, and the Union had a Confederate POW camp there. For those who play Fallout, you'll recognize the name from the Fallout 3 expansion. Here are some pictures that I took with my Droid...
The meeting of the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay.
During the Civil War, this was the location of a Union hospital.
Me at the bottom of the peninsula. My phone thinks that I'm in Virginia.
This is a memorial for the 3,500 Confederate soldiers who died because of the poor conditions of the POW camp.
I thought this was cool, it's an African American Confederate soldier. History books kind of slosh over the Confederates having volunteer black soldiers before the Union would allow for blacks to join.
