Arlington Cemetery Portrait of Heroes Across the Potomac
A reverent tour through Arlington Cemetery recalls Civil War legends and later losses, from Grant and Sherman to the Capron family, Shipp and Stolsenburg. It notes the landscape’s beauty, neglected interiors of Arlington House, and a call for proper markers for Gen. Lawton alongside other noted officers.
