From its origination, Arlington National Cemetery's history has been compellingly intertwined with that of African Americans. This book explains how the grounds of Arlington House, formerly the home of Robert E. Lee and a plantation of the enslaved, became a military camp for Federal troops, a freedmen's village and farm, and America's most important burial ground. During the Civil War, the property served as a pauper's cemetery for men too poor to be returned to their families, and some of the very first war dead to be buried there include over 1,500 men who served in the United States Colored Troops. More than 3,800 former slaves are interred in section 27, the property's original cemetery.

"The purpose of this Historic Structures Report is to function as a central repository of information, analysis and conclusion resulting from the investigation of the South Dependency (South Servant's Quarters) at Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial, by National Park Service (NPS) historians and their associated consultants in 2002 and 2003. Based on a resulting understanding of the history, appearance and use of the structure over time (with particular emphasis on the period around 1860), this document will also propose an appropriate restoration program that will enable the NPS to better interpret the building, its occupants and functions during the period of significance"--Statement of purpose (p. iii).
