幽魂戰場:haunted

(2010-07-09 17:01:09) 下一個
大家可能聽說過被戰死疆場的士兵haunted的最多的地方?Gettysburg. 一直想去,但是據說非要在國慶是去才正點,倒不是愛國不愛國的,而是那場美國有史以來最大的廝殺就發生在1863年7月1日2日3日。

聽說一般每年都有reenactment,可今年是安排在7月2日,我沒有趕上:(

這是南北戰爭聯邦軍Lee將軍犯的一個巨大戰略錯誤,他被6月3日的勝利衝昏了頭腦,死傷慘重。三天下來,死傷5萬到5萬8千,但隻有同盟軍有確切數字,23萬。死亡士兵8千,馬匹3千,可以想象7月4日聯邦軍撤退時,7月流火下這片戰場的慘景。

看看現在還像戰場麽?

這次戰事後不久,在賓州州府的支持下,就有人把地買下來,作了同盟軍戰士的公墓,遺體很快遷移過來。聯邦軍的遺體是幾年以後才遷過來的。後來又有Spanish-AmericanWar和WWI的葬在這裏。

這延伸的石頭不是路,是隻有編號的墓碑,沒有名字的死者。

這些是後來的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
