Craig Howell’s Civil War tours are inspiring. Just ask Larry West. While on Craig's tour of Congressional Cemetery a few years ago, Larry thought Mathew Brady's grave stone did not reflect his historic significance.

Details of the memorial will be revealed at the dedication, but Brady, Abraham Lincoln, and Frederick Douglass will all be represented along with vintage photography. Refreshments will be available (cash bar and finger food) and there will be music and an image table with examples of daguerreotype, ambrotype, and tin type…
