it is a compelling story for me wasuse by this time, meigs embittered by the losses everybody was suffering. he did not want the lees ever coming back. that land was, i think, pretty clearly taken illegally by the north. they did not allow the family to pay their taxes. you cannot pay your taxes so we will take it from you. in any case, meigs did not want them coming back so he ordered their bodies be buried around the rose garden. you have to be pretty angry to do something like that. he became angrier still because of something that happened to his son. his son john was very much like his dad, brilliant engineer, went to west point, top of his class. assigned toand was the shenandoah valley and he was a mapmaker and apparently very good coming back with a couple of guys. the story is unclear. it might always be unclear. the outcome is it appears john guysht these three or four were union guys. they may have been undercover, they may have been wearing raincoats. in any case, they were southerners. meigs was shot dead. montgomery thought it was murder . when he heard about it, he was in new
