Join us for a reading and discussion with Robert M. Poole, author of On Hallowed Ground: The Story of Arlington National Cemetery, on Thursday, Feb. 25, at 7 p.m., in Central Auditorium.
Poole traces the founding of Arlington National Cemetery on what had been the family plantation of Robert E. Lee. Initially, there was no honor in interment at Arlington as it served as a simple military burial ground, but the rites, rituals and reverence associated with the cemetery evolved over the next century. Poole paints an intimate, behind-the-scenes portrait of America?s most sacred ground.
