I have seen markers and mounds all over wooded areas and scrub here in Florida.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912026318286944406.post-3773374538435757592009-07-10T19:56:04.415-05:002009-07-10T19:56:04.415-05:00I came to this site via Google because of a weird realization: I have lived here for three years, and have not once noticed a graveyard. <br />Why?<br />Is there some law that requires the sequestering of the dead? Do they get turned into slurry? Does the nature of the city somehow damage the stones? <br />I enjoy the tangible history, beauty, and solitude of some graveyards, especially in a State so occupied by dense foliage and scrub land. But I wonder, where to look?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912026318286944406.post-5234300629166926492008-12-10T12:13:00.000-06:002008-12-10T12:13:00.000-06:00My pleasure!<BR/><BR/>In reading my great-uncle William Morgan's account of First Manassas (Bull Run), he wrote how the eerie quiet at the end of the day made him wonder if the two clashing armies had ended up "like the cats of Kilkenny."<BR/><BR/>I first read that in the days before Google, and had no idea what he meant by it. So, I had to do some good old-fashioned researching. And, that wound up being the inspiration for collecting all the info that ended up in the book!<BR/><BR/>Don't let anyone tell you that poetry doesn't inspire, even if it comes in the form of a limerick!wsmvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17130099479982562932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912026318286944406.post-66263186334354659402008-12-10T08:57:00.000-06:002008-12-10T08:57:00.000-06:00Billy, <BR/><BR/>Thanks for taking an early spot at Meet A Rabbit --- Jessica is in the midst of semester exams and I'm sure she also appreciates your swapping dates with her.<BR/><BR/>For those of you who haven't been reading CENTRAL FLORIDA GYRABBIT on a daily basis, you are missing a treat. I always find sometime there to read that is interesting, thought-provoking and usually something to make me smile. After reading Billy's introduction I have a better understanding of his approach --- and recommend his work to you all.<BR/><BR/>And I recommend that you check the phrase "Kilkenny Cat" at Wikipedia to get an understanding of his book's title as well as to read the poem "There Once Were Two Cats of Kilkenny."<BR/><BR/>Cats and Rabbits --- it just doesn't get any better! [Unless you are a HOGS Blogger --- and that is a completely different story altogether!]<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas,<BR/>Terry ThorntonTerry Thorntonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01251750196282728118noreply@blogger.com
