Fort Delaware State Park
7/13/1863 cont'd: " The eating room will accomodate at each meal, about 16000 men, and there is between three and four rooms full, making about 5000 men in the new barracks, and I understand there is about 2500 men in the old barracks making a total of 7500 prisoners in Fort Delaware." 7/14/'63: "Fort Delaware is built of stone inside the walls of the fort is a large brick building, which towers above the walls of the fort. This building is used as officers quarters, who have their wives and families with them. The fort is surrounded by a canal, which is full of water, our barracks are out side of this canal; then outside of us is another canal and out side of this and extending around the island is an embankment to prevent the overflowing of the island. This embankment is used as a guard line, which is doubled of nights. There is a guard posted through the yard, in order th keep the yard clean. The principal parts of the washing is done in the outer canal, and the water is kept very filthy. Stiring around pretty early this morning, I unexpectedly met up with my old Milledgeville friend Jos. M. M. Hall. I was very much surprised at meeting him in this place, not knowing that he was in the service, he also informed me of another Milledgeville friend, who is here, John Grieve, whome he said would be pleased to see me.

Delaware State Jobs
Today is President's Day. It's where we take a few minutes to remember the great leaders of our country.
Have you ever wondered how many presidents have been to Delaware? You'd probably be surprised. Most Delawareans are well aware of more recent presidential visits like President Obama, President Clinton, and President Bush (both of them). Most have seen the photos of JFK cutting the ribbon at the dedication of the I-95 turnpike, but were you aware that Franklin D. Roosevelt, Warren G. Harding, Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan, and Dwight Eisenhower also spent some time in our great state?
If you would like to see photographs of presidential visits to Delaware visit Public Archives Facebook album. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150148564106995.340865.315035576994
