EDITORS COMMENTS
Arlington National Cemetery, 1912: A Hallowed Ground of Honor and Remembrance This evocative photograph, taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio in 1912, captures the solemn beauty of Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the hallowed grounds held the remains of over 2,100 unknown soldiers from the American Civil War. The focal point of the photograph is the Civil War Unknowns Monument, which stands proudly amidst the rolling hills and meticulously manicured lawns. The inscription on the monument reads, 'Beneath this stone repose the bones of two thousand one hundred and eleven unknown soldiers gathered after the war from the fields of Bull Run and the route to the Rappahannock. Their remains could not be identified, but their names and deaths are recorded in the archives of their country: and its grateful citizens honor them as of their noble army of martyrs. May they rest in peace. September A.D. 1866.' The monument serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the American Civil War, a time when the nation was torn apart by conflict and division. The image invites us to reflect on the importance of remembering those who gave their lives for their country and to honor their memory as noble martyrs. Arlington National Cemetery, with its rich history and architectural grandeur, continues to be a significant tourist attraction and a source of national pride. This photograph, taken over a century ago, stands as a testament to the enduring power of the past and the importance of preserving the stories and memories of those who came before us.
