Wreaths Across America 2022

For Wreaths Across America 2022, I made the drive once again today to Paxton MA to lay a wreath on the grave of my adopted Civil War soldier, Pvt. George W. Gould of the 25th Mass. Vol. Infantry, who sacrificed his life at Cold Harbor in 1864 to save the Union & end human chattel slavery. There’s a tag on the wreath that tells his story & a link to this website that I created to honor him, which hosts his transcribed letters home. The flags on the grave are ones I placed earlier this year. Huzzah Pvt. Gould!
