Om denne bog

From its origination, Arlington National Cemetery''s history has been compellingly intertwined with that of African Americans. This book explains how the grounds of Arlington House, formerly the home of Robert E. Lee and a plantation of the enslaved, became a military camp for Federal troops, a freedmen''s village and farm, and America''s most important burial ground. During the Civil War, the property served as a pauper''s cemetery for men too poor to be returned to their families, and some of the very first war dead to be buried there include over 1,500 men who served in the United States Colored Troops. More than 3,800 former slaves are interred in section 27, the property''s original cemetery.
