Mr. Renaissance Man's request this summer to Mr. Brown Sign was to visit author's row (Emerson's headstone).
He had read so many of their books he felt this would be a worthy venture.
This is probably the one I was interested in the most, however I don't like how people pay homage with trinkets.
It's called the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
Nathanial Hawthorne
Thoreau
(These headstones represent a lot of hefty writing - reading.)
While looking for author's row Mr. Brown Sign and Mr. Renaissance found a treasure.
A memorial by a surviving brother to his three brothers who died in the Civil War.
In memory of three brothers born in Concordwho as privae soldiers gave their lives
in the war to save the country.
The memory is placed here by their surviving
brother himself a private soldier in the same war.
"Ye with uncovered head
salute the sacred dead
who went and who return not."

I hear that Aaron is following in Uncle Jarrod's footsteps and is a lot more interested in brown signs than he used to be...It's been fun to watch.
love,
mom
Another nice visit and history lesson. I should go with you to these places, as I've never been.
You are too good to your kids! I love teh memorial for the brothers. Nothing like a good brother, right?
Love it. So much to see, so little time!...
PS. I'm coming to see you whether you want me or not. I'll bring some Spanish lice, er I mean rice.
What a great way to spend a summer with the family. These are the experiences they will take with them down the road to when they visit similar places with the next generation.
What a cool place, all in the same cemetary?
Amy, one question: Who does the "Henry" headstone belong to?
