Cabbage Row Removal at Granary Cemetery Sparks Debate
In Boston I note the removal of the ugly barrier known as Cabbage Row in Granary Burying Ground to reveal monuments. I criticize chalked gravestones and suggest a small tablet near Woodbridge’s grave to highlight its tragic duel history and literary ties to the Autocrat. I also describe a recent art exhibit of Russian works and its vivid scenes of war and character portraits.
