Arlington's Sleeping Army Across the Potomac
A vivid portrait of Arlington Cemetery's vast Resting ground across the Potomac from Washington. The piece recalls Civil War heroes and later generals buried there, from Harney and Capron to Lawton and Sheridan, noting the grounds, memorials, and the historic house. It reflects on beauty, memory, and government neglect of interior Arlington House.
