Camp Alger
Camp Alger, near Falls Church, Virginia, was established May 18, 1898, for the Spanish American War effort.〔''Report of the Commission Appointed by the President to Investigate the Conduct of the War Department in the War with Spain,'' Govt. Print. Off., 1899.〕 It was approved by Secretary of War Russell A. Alger for whom it was named. ==Location== Camp Alger was about miles from Dunn Loring, a station on a branch of the Southern Railway, as above stated, and 7 miles from Washington, D.C, and about 5 miles distant from Fort Myer. The surface of this tract is rolling, partly wooded, with cultivated clearings and with good drainage. The soil is of clay and sand and nearly impervious to water. Immediately after the selection of this camp preparations were made for the reception of troops by the erection of storehouses at Dunn Loring, where the Southern Railway put in extra sidings to accommodate the increased traffic.〔
