Beautiful resting place full of fascinating historical stories
Beaufort Historic Site Old Burying Ground的点评
点评:This was a great way to spend a couple hours, but I like wandering around in cemeteries. This one is a beauty, chock-full of history. We took the self-guided tour, using the printed guide available at the entry. I think it would have been even better had we gotten a ticket at the visitors' center and had a guide. There are some great stories attached to these graves, showing the complicated history this area has had, particularly when it came to loyalties during the Civil War. Like, did you know that not all of NC seceded from the Union (i.e. Hatteras), and that there were Union regiments that mustered in NC? Then there's the girl buried in a rum barrel and an Revolutionary War English soldier buried standing up.
翻译:这真是个消磨几个小时的好方法,不过我更喜欢在墓地里闲逛。这个墓地美极了,充满了历史的韵味。我们参加了自助游,使用了入口处提供的纸质指南。我觉得如果我们在游客中心买票并请一位导游的话会更好。这些坟墓背后隐藏着一些精彩的故事,展现了这片地区复杂的历史,尤其是在内战期间的效忠问题上。比如,你知道吗,北卡罗来纳州并非全部脱离了联邦(例如哈特拉斯),而且也有一些联邦军团在北卡罗来纳州集结?此外,还有一个埋在朗姆酒桶里的女孩,以及一位直立埋葬的独立战争时期英国士兵。
