A flowing verse honors the deceased and the brave with graveyard imagery. Blossoms and tribute entwine around tombs as heroes are laid to rest.
A Civil War era report by Doctor Gould of the United States Sanitary Commission notes Indiana men as the tallest natives of the United States and perhaps any civilized country. It lists dozens of tall soldiers, including Lt Van Buskirk of the Twenty-ninth Indiana at 82% inches and Capt. Charles Ream’s men, with multiple 6 foot 8 inch arrivals. The piece contrasts this with very short soldiers in Descriptive Musters, and highlights notable tall figures such as Major Ernest D. Peek of Wisconsin, the tallest officer in the U.S. Army at 6 feet 4 inches 4/10, nicknamed Pike’s Peck.
