Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Recovery of the Southern Corner Stone of the District: Paper Read Before the Columbia Historical Society of Washington, D. C., March 18, 1915
The southern corner stone of the District of Colum bia has at last been brought to light and its exact loca tion is no longer a mystery.
The sea-wall surrounding the quaint little Jones's Point lighthouse below Alexandria, Va., has given up its long-kept secret and has been broken into by the United States Engineers, who have been at work in its immediate Vicinity for some time past, and the long buried stone has been uncovered to inspection, for the first time since 1861.
