THIS....definitely has no bearing on reverting back to original conditions on G'bg Battlefield, but is a commentary on what seems to be happening in many places of historic significance. It really cranks my old starter.....I can only hope to interrupt such an activity sometime. (Do they allow computers and internet usage in prison? Sure hope so....I don't want to miss my forays into Mohicanland.)

Life's journey is not to
arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out, shouting
'...holy sh*t ...what a ride!'

Seamus,
This reminds me of a similliar incident that happened on the Guilford Court House Battlefield in N.C. several years ago. If you notice near the top of these photos is the description of the damage, including multiple "F___"s and "I hate cops". At Guilford C.H., the handsome statue of Nathaniel Greene was simillarly defaced by painting. ( It's long since been cleaned. ) The park service personnel thought it was because its very large pedestal steps were used as the "set" for a photograph of the Greensboro Police Department personnel that appeared on the cover of the local phone book; and had NOTHING at all to do with the statue or park itself. This looks like the same sort of mindless juvenile vandalism directed towards government and the police all-too-common in our "culture". I'd be willing to bet the "perps" have NO idea what this monument IS, apart from being a convenient easel. |
