Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Title: Beef Depot Monument

During the Civil War, the U.S. Army grazed cattle on the grounds of the unfinished Washington Monument, earning the structure the nickname "Beef Depot Monument." In addition to being the seat of the federal government, Washington was on the front lines. The Mall served as a staging area for the quartermasters division which provided supplies to the troops, such as beef from the cattle.
