A U. S. Army Signal Corps wartime photograph of Arlington House taken June 28, 1864, depicts Soldiers resting. In the spring of 1864, the Civil War entered its third year. The Army began burying Soldiers along the northern border of the Arlington estate in May of 1864. Meanwhile, the office of Quartermaster General Montgomery Meigs set about the task of identifying an appropriate place for a new, official cemetery. As the Army had occupied Arlington since 1861 and the U.S. government had legally purchased the property at public auction in January 1864, it emerged as a logical choice. Meigs formally proposed Arlington as the site of the new cemetery on June 15, 1864, according to the National Parks Service. (U.S. Army Signal Corps photograph)
