1865: Cattle grazing in Washington D.C.​

The grounds where the unfinished Washington Monument stood were used during the Civil War for military drills and for the grazing and slaughter of cattle (as many as 10,000 fed there at one time, according to the poet Walt Whitman). The large building in the background on the right is the U.S. Treasury, and the top of the White House is just visible to the left, above the trees.

Sad thing is that now there are still 10000 grazing in DC, just not cattle. And now we are the ones being butchered as it were.
