In my previous post, I made a mistake about the location of the Dismal Swamp. It is not near DC. It's near Norfolk, in the SE corner of Virginia.

Following the Battle of Fredericksburg, Union soldiers retreated through a swampy area, toward DC. Rebels harassed them through the swampy area.

I used to live on the North edge of the swampy area and spent hours walking through it--on dry spots. Locals referred to the area as The Dismal Swamp

I apologize for my mistake.
