Mysterious Knight's Tomb: Oldest Gravestone in America?
Jonathan Appell, a conservator of monuments, works on conserving and stabilizing the knight's tomb in the memorial church at Jamestown. The tombstone likely belonged to Sir George Yeardley, an early Jamestown leader, who was buried in the town in 1627. The tomb had been moved from it's original location at sometime in the colonial period, and then rediscovered in the early 20th century when the church was rebuilt. To learn more about Jonathan's work please visit the following website

Arlington Cemetery
Cemeteries are always sober visits for me. I have included JFK innauguration speech. I loved his gravesite that had 5 exerpts from his speeches. Arlington is a beautiful place, quiet and sober. They have an average of 26 burials every day there. We heard taps and shots a few times while we were there. Hard to understand the scope of such a great place.
Paul Revere's Gravesite and Gravestone Burial in Granary Burying Ground on Tremont Street Boston MA
Paul Revere Gravesite and Gravestone Burial in the Granary Burying Ground on Tremont Street Boston Massachusetts MA - - The following Wikipedia articles cover details about Paul Revere's Gravesite and this famous Amercan patriot -- Founded in 1660, the Granary Burying Ground in Massachusetts is the city of Boston's third-oldest cemetery. Located on Tremont Street, it is the final resting place for many notable Revolutionary War-era patriots, including three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Paul Revere and the five victims of the Boston Massacre. The cemetery has 2,345 graves, but historians estimate as many as 5,000 people are buried in it. The cemetery is adjacent to Park Street Church and immediately across from Suffolk University Law School...Paul Revere (December 21, 1734 -- May 10, 1818) was an American silversmith, early industrialist, and a patriot in the American Revolution. He is most famous for alerting Colonial militia of approaching British forces before the battles of Lexington and Concord, as dramatized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, Paul Revere's Ride. Revere was a prosperous and prominent Boston silversmith, who helped organize an intelligence and alarm system to keep watch on the British military. Revere later served as a Massachusetts militia officer, though his service culminated after the Penobscot Expedition, one of the most disastrous campaigns of the American Revolutionary War, for which he was absolved of blame. Following the war, Revere returned to his silversmith trade and used the profits from his expanding business to finance his work in iron casting, bronze bell and cannon casting, and the forging of copper bolts and spikes. Finally in 1800 he became the first American to successfully roll copper into sheets for use as sheathing on naval vessels. Links to the relevant articles are on and

Katherine Lee Bates
Katharine Lee Bates (August 12, 1859 – March 28, 1929) was an American songwriter. She is remembered as the author of the words to the anthem America the Beautiful. She popularized Mrs. Santa Claus through her poem Goody Santa Claus on a Sleigh Ride(1889).
Born: August 12, 1859
Falmouth, Massachusetts, United States: DiedMarch 28, 1929(aged 69)
Wellesley, Massachusetts, United States
Occupation: Author, Poet, Educator
Notable works: America the Beautiful
Goody Santa Claus on a Sleigh Ride.
Bates was born in Falmouth, Massachusetts, the daughter of Congregational pastor William Bates and his wife, Cornelia Frances Lee. She graduated from Needham High School in 1872, from Newton High School in 1875, and from Wellesley College with a B.A. in 1880. She taught at Natick High School during 1880–81 and at Dana Hall School from 1885 until 1889. She returned to Wellesley as an instructor, then an associate professor 1891–93 when she was awarded an M.A. and became full professor of English literature. She studied at Oxford University during 1890–91. While teaching at Wellesley, she was elected a member of the newly formed Pi Gamma Mu honor society for the social sciences because of her interest in history and politics.
Bates was a prolific author of many volumes of poetry, travel books, and children's books.
She contributed regularly to periodicals, sometimes under the pseudonym James Lincoln, including Atlantic Monthly, The Congregationalist, Boston Evening Transcript, Christian Century.
A lifelong, active Republican, Bates broke with the party to endorse Democratic presidential candidate John W. Davis in 1924 because of Republican opposition to American participation in the League of Nations. She said: Though born and bred in the Republican camp, I cannot bear their betrayal of Mr. Wilson and their rejection of the League of Nations, our one hope of peace on earth.
Bates never married. In 1910, when a colleague described free-flying spinsters as fringe on the garment of life, Bates answered: I always thought the fringe had the best of it. I don't think I mind not being woven in.
Bates died in Wellesley, Massachusetts, on September 28, 1929, and is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery at Falmouth.[6]
Relationship with Katharine Coman:
Bates lived in Wellesley with Katharine Coman, who was a history and political economy teacher and founder of the Wellesley College School Economics department. The pair lived together for twenty-five years until Coman's death in 1915. In 1922, Bates published Yellow Clover: A Book of Remembrance, a collection of poems written to or about my Friend Katharine Coman, some of which had been published in Coman's lifetime.
Some describe the couple as intimate lesbian partners,[ citing as an example Bates' 1891 letter to Coman: It was never very possible to leave Wellesley [for good], because so many love-anchors held me there, and it seemed least of all possible when I had just found the long-desired way to your dearest heart...Of course I want to come to you, very much as I want to come to Heaven. Others contest the use of the term lesbian to describe such a Boston marriage. Writes one: We cannot say with certainty what sexual connotations these relationships conveyed. We do know that these relationships were deeply intellectual; they fostered verbal and physical expressions of love.

The 5th U.S. Colored Cavalry | Kentucky Life | KET
Since 1865, a half mile outside Simpsonville, a mass grave has held the remains of 22 men killed in a Confederate ambush. For years the grave was largely forgotten until historians and civic groups in Simpsonville launched efforts to memorialize the site.
What is known as the Simpsonville Slaughter occurred on a winter day in the last months of the Civil War, Jan. 25, 1865. The 5th U.S. Colored Cavalry was driving cattle to market in Louisville when it was ambushed on a narrow dirt path outside Simpsonville by a band of Confederate guerrillas. Historians say 22 men were killed on the scene, and six more died later of their wounds. Local residents buried the soldiers in a mass grave.
The 5th was based at Camp Nelson in Jessamine County. Most of the men were former slaves from Central Kentucky. The oldest man who died here was 45; most were in their teens and 20s.
The mass grave became part of an African-American cemetery, which was cared for by the Simpsonville Trim No. 2 United Brothers of Friendship Lodge until the last member of the lodge died in 1965. In 2009, a historical marker on U.S. 60, a half mile west of town, was dedicated in a special ceremony. And at long last, the fallen soldiers were remembered by name with individual headstones.

Ever Seen An Old New England Cemetery?
To support my efforts to create more clips please donate to me at patreon.com/allinaday. I enjoy making these travelogues when we are on vacation. And I love New England cemeteries from the Revolutionary war era I guess in part because both my wife and I come from northern New England, Rhode Island and Maine. We came upon this small family Cemetery in Stonington Connecticut. I made this video with my GoPro Hero 2.

Places to see in ( Boston - USA )
Boston is Massachusetts’ capital and largest city. Founded in 1630, it’s one of the oldest cities in the U.S. The key role it played in the American Revolution is highlighted on the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile walking route of historic sites that tells the story of the nation’s founding. One stop, former meeting house Faneuil Hall, is a popular marketplace.
Boston's history recalls revolution and transformation, and today it is still among the country’s most forward-thinking and barrier-breaking cities. The arts have thrived in Boston ever since the 19th century, when this cultural capital was dubbed the Athens of America. Certainly, the intellectual elite appreciated their fine paintings and classical music, but they were also dedicated to spreading the cultural wealth, establishing museums, libraries and symphony orchestras for all to enjoy.
'Fanatic' is no idle word here. Boston fans are passionate about sports. And with the five-time world-champion Patriots, the long-overdue World Series–winning Red Sox, the winningest basketball team in history, the Celtics, and the highly successful and historic hockey team, the Bruins, there is a lot to be passionate about. Boston's college teams also inspire fierce loyalties and staunch rivalries. No less spirited is the country's oldest and most celebrated running event, the world-famous Boston Marathon, and the world's largest two-day rowing event, the Head of the Charles Regatta.
For all intents and purposes, Boston is the oldest city in America. And you can hardly walk a step over its cobblestone streets without running into some historic site. The Freedom Trail winds its way around the city, connecting 16 historically significant sites. These are the very places where history unfolded: from the first public school in America to Boston’s oldest church building to sites linked to America's fight for independence from Britain – Boston is, in effect, one fantastic outdoor history museum.
Boston is surrounded by the Greater Boston region and is contiguously bordered by the cities and towns of Winthrop, Revere, Chelsea, Everett, Somerville, Cambridge, Watertown, Newton, Brookline, Needham, Dedham, Canton, Milton, and Quincy. The Charles River separates Boston from Watertown and the majority of Cambridge, and the mass of Boston from its own Charlestown neighborhood. To the east lie Boston Harbor and the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area (which includes part of the city's territory, specifically Calf Island, Gallops Island, Great Brewster Island, Green Island, Little Brewster Island, Little Calf Island, Long Island, Lovells Island, Middle Brewster Island, Nixes Mate, Outer Brewster Island, Rainsford Island, Shag Rocks, Spectacle Island, The Graves, and Thompson Island). The Neponset River forms the boundary between Boston's southern neighborhoods and the city of Quincy and the town of Milton. The Mystic River separates Charlestown from Chelsea and Everett, and Chelsea Creek and Boston Harbor separate East Boston from Boston proper.

Sidewalk Memories Trailer
During the twentieth century, the second largest Jewish population in the United States lived in the Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan area of Boston, now known more familiarly as the DRM.
This area, as it was, no longer exists. Describing life in this urban Jewish community to children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, who now live in the suburbs and all over the country, is virtually impossible. It is hard for them to understand or visualize that the primary factor that held all these area residents together was -- each other.
Through the use of video and Internet technology, it is now possible to not only show them this historic past, but also to preserve it for future generations. It has been said that such a neighborhood life, as existed during those times, could never come again.
For these reasons Sidewalk Memories is a video history of the DRM area which will be bringing this story to life.
Exploring concord Cemetery in Missouri, United States
They say if you touch every head stone, then kiss the witches’ stone she will take over your body and tell her story. On certain nights you can see the shadows of a tall man and a small child. The man is known as the gate keeper and the small child is who the gate keeper killed. There is a black slave man who was buried there and you can see him walk in front of the head stones alone on the left side of the cemetery. Some say that they could hear chains rattling. One of the scariest aspects is that when stepping into Concord, sometimes you can smell peaches. Another legend is that on Halloween night there are two trees that bleed. There is also a haunted truck that comes out and chases you, if you stop in the road before the church turn off your lights and honk your horn till you see head lights appear.
Anti-Semitic Arson In Massachusetts
Anti-Semitism has made headlines in recent months, from the April synagogue shooting in California that left one woman dead, to last year’s mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue in which a gunman killed 11 people. The high-profile killings happened against a larger backdrop of some 1,800 anti-Semitic incidents and assaults nationwide last year, according to the Anti-Defamation League. In Massachusetts, two rabbis were recently the victims of arson, which federal authorities are now investigating. Jim Braude was joined by Rabbi Avi Bukiet from the Center for Jewish Life in Arlington-Belmont, and Rabbi Mendy Krinsky from the Chabad Jewish Center in Needham.
