One beautiful afternoon I boarded anelectric car for Mount Vernon, Vir-ginia and, the first thing of importance people who have visited this fa-mous cemetery realized for the firsttime what the Civil War meant tothis country. Under oiie stone arethe bones of 2111 unknown soldiers,and in this cemetery are buried over16,000 soldiers who fell in the CivilWar alone.
