Mr. History post number 9:
Concord, Mass. In 1897, the Boston businessman James C. Melvin had commissioned a funerary monument from Daniel Chester French to honor his three brothers who had died in the Civil War. French was a famous sculpture who has stuff all over, including Lincoln sitting in his chair in the Lincoln Memorial and the Minuteman Statue in Concord among others. The massive figure of Mourning Victory emerges from the block of stone projecting two moods: melancholy, in her downcast eyes and somber expression, and triumph, in the American flag and laurel she holds high. French captured the sense of calm after the storm of battle, which must have referred to the pride, after the sorrow of grieving, felt by the surviving brother. It’s a pretty impressive tribute.

Since I was here I also checked out Author’s Ridge which has a bunch of famous authors buried there. The list of names of famous authors who died while living in Concord is impressive. There are Thoreau and Emerson, but also Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott and her family, and William Ellery Channing, all interred near one another.

Mr. History Post Number 8: The Medford Edition! I'm checking out a few origin stories today. First up, the birthplace of the Black Dahlia. It's still an unknown grizzly murder mystery that baffles people to this day. Sadly, her childhood home was razed to make way for the Interstate 93 Rotary that abuts this spot. Poor Liz. Also, since it was so close, I also checked out where the Xmas tune Jingle Bells was supposedly written. The old pub is now an eyeglasses store. I'm trying to imagine two horse open slieghs skidding down Medford Center. 🤷

Mr. History Post Number 8: The Medford Edition! I'm checking out a few origin stories today. First up, the birthplace of the Black Dahlia. It's still an unknown grizzly murder mystery that baffles people to this day. Sadly, her childhood home was razed to make way for the Interstate 93 Rotary that abuts this spot. Poor Liz. Also, since it was so close, I also checked out where the Xmas tune Jingle Bells was supposedly written. The old pub is now an eyeglasses store. I'm trying to imagine two horse open slieghs skidding down Medford Center. 🤷 . #boston #bostondotcom #ig_boston #igersboston #igmassachusetts #igersnewengland #scenesofnewengland #newenglandlife #newengland #ignewengland #igboston #blogger #bloggers #bostonblogger #history #historical #curiousity #roadside

Distance means so little, when life means so much. Resharing some of my memories to pass the time.
