Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Records of the Columbia Historical Society, Washington, D. C, Vol. 18: Compiled by the Committee on Publication and the Recording Secretary
Few travelers on the Potomac River as they pass Mathias Point, are aware that the neighborhood is the scene of one of the most interesting episodes in our National History. That majestic stream which at that place is about two miles wide, there makes a turn from northeast to southeast, almost at a right angle in its course, and is deeper than at any other part of its channel. A part of the right bank of the river in this Vicinity, and the east bank opposite Mathias Point and for several miles below, are bordered by stately bluffs some of which reach a height Of over eighty feet.
