Description

Most Americans have heard of Arlington National Cemetery, yet many of those interred rest in obscurity. This book seeks to honor their memories by telling the stories of 250 people buried here. Many were battlefield heroes, but some survived war to go on to major accomplishments. There are also stories of the original inhabitants of the cemetery, slaves and freedmen who worked at the Lee estate. As well as, the book covers popular sites such as the Tomb of the Unknowns and President Kennedy’s gravesite. Navigating Arlington will also be frustrating for visitors. On the lookout for a particular element of the cemetery is impractical and not using a map, and locating a specific grave within a section may end up in expenditure of significant time and energy. To aid visitors, a series of maps presents logical starting points. There’s a GPS coordinate for every gravesite, which combines with the cemetery’s smart phone application to make location simple. The description of every website online is accompanied by a color photograph.
