Now come on.....you know I always try to have story behind my pics. This is such a different kind of headstone, isn't is? The boys in my class thought it was "Way cool!"
A boot with a laurel wreath, strange combination, I have no idea ! BTW Sunday I visited the expo "Precolumbian Art" here in Brussels and I put already some pictures on my blogs, for WW and TT but I have a lot more and will post them during the week in my photoblog (keyhole) if you are interested in, it was an amazing exposition !
Normally when I see a headstone that comes to a point, I think of the Confederacy. There is a star on the epaulette (Major) and I think the cannon might indicate artillery.
My granddaughter's teacher is reading aloud to them(3rd grade). the kids really enjoy it. As a matter of fact at the book fair Monday my granddaughter bought the book that she is reading and is reading it at home. The Tale of the Desteraux
Hi! Thanks for visiting History Is Elementary and for taking the time to make a comment. Unfortunately, I have had to enable comment moderation due to a rash of spammy comments. Your legitimate and on topic comment is important to me and to the other readers of this site.
I have no idea but I would like to come back and find out. Thanks for stopping by my WW!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought it was just a headstone at the cemetery ...

ReplyDeleteThere's more than just a boot and a laurel wreath, that's a fire hydrant as well isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea either and my American history is err, well it isn't at all.
Is it a tombstone? Maybe he died with his boots on...
ReplyDeleteFirst thought was a headstone of a cowboy but I know it has to be more than that.
ReplyDeleteAnother great WW
my first thoughts were "that's a civil war statue."
ReplyDeleteMy first thoughts- it's a Civil War (Confederate) memorial, but I don't know where.
ReplyDeleteA tribute to B. A., located in eastern NY. I understand the boot but I'm at a loss as to what the thing that looks like a fire hydrant is!
ReplyDeleteTribute to a firefighter??? Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteApple, you are too smart. Thanks for simply listing the initials instead of the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteThis is a monument to someone's injured foot.
This is not a Civil War monument.
More to follow later.
Saratoga National Historical Park
ReplyDeleteYahoo search, I'm not that smart...and B.A. monument but not on it because of treason...
Silly me!
ReplyDeleteI shall be there in April!
