NOTE: Early embossed ownership of Montgomery Cunningham Meigs (1816-1892) a career U.S. Army officer and civil engineer, who served as Quartermaster General of the Union Army during and after the American Civil War. Despite his Southern birth, Meigs strongly opposed secession and remained loyal to the Union; his record as Quartermaster General was regarded as outstanding, both in effectiveness and in ethical probity, and Secretary of State William H. Seward viewed it as a key factor in the Union victory. The ownership stamp highlights his favorite pre-war engineering project - the Washington Aqueduct (1852-1860). He supervised the construction of the monumental Union Arch Bridge across Cabin John Creek, designed by Alfred Rives, which for 50 years remained the longest single-span masonry arch in the world. It also mentions his service (1853-1859) supervising the building of the wings and dome of the United States Capitol. A remarkable record of 19th Century American invention and ingenuity, in an example associated with one of the most important figures of the Civil War era. BOX 66 Basement
