02/01/11While visiting a number of State Capitols with my All You Can Jet pass from JetBlue last year, I quickly realized that each had a different character from the next. Here is a fun comparison of the rotundas. Under each (no pun intended) picture is the state the capitol was in.
Chimborazo Medical Museum
01/31/11James B. McCaw developed the Chimborazo Military Hospital in Richmond, Virginia, for the Confederate States of America. It was at the time the largest in human history. It received 17,000 wounded patients and served more than 76,000 patients. The museum today features instruments and other items used by doctors at the hospital.
Fort Harrison

Constructed in 1862 and 1863, it became the most heavily fortified position north of the James River. Union commanders chose it as the primary target to reach Richmond in September 1864.
