CHAPTER 16
Remote Surveillance: On September 24, 1861, Professor Thaddeus Lowe ascended more than one thousand feet in a tethered balloon named the Union, near Arlington, Virginia. He was able to observe and provide intelligence on the position of Confederate troops near Falls Church several miles away. His information allowed the Union Army gun crews defending the Capital to aim and accurately fire at an enemy they could not see. Soaring over flat landscapes, balloons provided a surveillance and intelligence platform for military commanders. Although some balloons could ascend to five thousand feet, threats were often concealed by mountains or within buildings.
