#31- A cemetery-
Today we visited Riverside Cemetery in Waterbury, Connecticut. It's a big, beautiful cemetery with dogwood trees in bloom. We walked around and we saw several graves, one belongs to a Union solider who died from wounds he got in the Battle of Fort Wagner during the Civil War. He lead an entire company of soldiers who all volunteered when Abraham Lincoln asked for troops, so there were a lot of heroes from Waterbury in the Civil War.
