幽魂战场:haunted

(2010-07-09 17:01:09) 下一个
大家可能听说过被战死疆场的士兵haunted的最多的地方?Gettysburg. 一直想去,但是据说非要在国庆是去才正点,倒不是爱国不爱国的,而是那场美国有史以来最大的厮杀就发生在1863年7月1日2日3日。

听说一般每年都有reenactment,可今年是安排在7月2日,我没有赶上:(

这是南北战争联邦军Lee将军犯的一个巨大战略错误,他被6月3日的胜利冲昏了头脑,死伤惨重。三天下来,死伤5万到5万8千,但只有同盟军有确切数字,23万。死亡士兵8千,马匹3千,可以想象7月4日联邦军撤退时,7月流火下这片战场的惨景。

看看现在还像战场么?

这次战事后不久,在宾州州府的支持下,就有人把地买下来,作了同盟军战士的公墓,遗体很快迁移过来。联邦军的遗体是几年以后才迁过来的。后来又有Spanish-AmericanWar和WWI的葬在这里。

这延伸的石头不是路,是只有编号的墓碑,没有名字的死者。

这些是后来的Spanish-American War 的墓碑。

Your own proud land's heroic soil
Must be your fitter grave
She claims from war his richest spoil
The ashes of the brave
