Green-Wood

This seems the correct blog for this post: a story about the Brooklyn cemetery. Details in the story are new to me, but I visited Green-Wood in April 2004.

Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, the resting ground for such 19th-century titans as jeweler Charles Lewis Tiffany and pianist Louis Moreau Gottschalk, is running out of its main source of revenue: burial plots. To keep it alive, the 200-year-old cemetery's president, Richard Moylan, turned it into a nonprofit that gives guided tours and hosts cultural programs and art exhibits.

My pictures: Civil War memorial. Look closely, and find lower Manhattan.

Harry Chadwick's grave, laid out in baseball diamond shape, complete with bases.


A major reason for my visit: the grave of Old Brains, General Halleck.


Not the Pearly Gates, exactly; Green-Woods gates.
