The other day Candy and I were walking through Uptown Dallas on our way to the DART station at Citiplace when we passed by an old cemetery. It’s Greenwood Cemetery. Like most old cemeteries it’s a peaceful historic place.
As we walked by, I turned and shot a simple photo of a simple veteran’s tombstone.
Everybody is used to seeing old cemeteries and everybody is used to seeing veteran’s graves. But unless you live in the southern states you aren’t used to seeing tombstones marked CSA.
Here, of course, Confederate graves are all too common.

After the war, Texas paid a horrible and unjust price for siding with the Confederacy. Northern Carpet Bagger’s and the ban of out of State Cattle sales by the Union were some of the mosquitoes that bled Texas and it’s people dry. My hats tipped in respect for those men who died in a war no one wanted.
Tom Green, who died in the Civil War and has a county in Texas named for him, is from my hometown. The home of his father, who taught at the university where I teach, still stands.
