Rose Hill--Hagerstown
This morning early I return to this mass grave where the people of Maryland gathered up those "Rebel Bones" that lay in the fields around several battlefields--most notably South Mountain and Antietam. Lady Hope stands watch over their semi-circular resting place--some 2,122 _unknown and 346 known soldiers from the ANV. The various states have a section. Confederate flags fly along side her and the ubiquitous Southern Cross of the UDC is front and center before her. Lest we forget.
PS--An homily on the occasion of my first visit here
