I did find a web page http://xroads.virginia.edu/%7ECAP/hospital/whitman.htm that references a figure 3, which is supposed to be a map showing where the hospitals were. Trouble is, there is no figure 3 with the webpage! (Maybe this is actually a review of "Drum Taps" and that's where figure 3 is.) Ms. Price does locate some hospitals, but not Carver, although a photo purporting to be the interior is included. "Mr. Lincoln's City", which is a tour guide to CW DC, has this to say: "As a rule of thumb Massachusetts Avenue was then regarded as the northern rim of the Civil War city...It was mostly flat open space, a dumping ground for refuse, with an occasional huddle of barracks or other Army necessities like the Execution Grounds (at present Logan Circle). This plain continued north for about a mile. Then the land climbed abruptly to a shelf 70 or 80 feet above the plain... "...the whole shelf from the Anacostia River west beyond Rock Creek was dotted with white tents and hut camps. When the soldiers moved south in the spring of 1862 the doctors took over the best barracks, joined them with tents, and turned them into general hospitals. A row of 12 large hospitals remained here till the end of the war." The tour guide map for this stop is between 9th & 10th Streets on south side of H, but this is probably just approximate locale - doubt 12 hospitals fit in one city block. A convention center now occupies the block. Dennis
