[[James R. Tanner]] was a Union Army officer who lost both legs during the war. He later became a War Department stenographer, and recorded much of the early evidence in the investigation into the [[assassination of Abraham Lincoln]]. He later was active in the [[Grand Army of the Republic]], a Union Army veterans group. Tanner is buried a few yards from the amphitheater.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/arlington-cemetery-to-rename-old-ampitheater-for-civil-war-double-amputee-james-tanner/2014/05/16/7c85add4-dd3b-11e3-bda1-9b46b2066796_story.html |last=Ruane |first=Michael E.|title=Arlington Cemetery to Rename Old Ampitheater for Civil War Double Amputee James Tanner|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=May 16, 2014|access-date=May 29, 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140607125420/http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/arlington-cemetery-to-rename-old-ampitheater-for-civil-war-double-amputee-james-tanner/2014/05/16/7c85add4-dd3b-11e3-bda1-9b46b2066796_story.html|archive-date=June 7, 2014}}</ref>
