This stone is standing, in the roots of a large Live Oak, on the edge of ‘Soldiers Ground’ in Charleston. There’s nothing to relate it to any member of the military but here it is. I don’t know how I’ve miss it here.
I haven’t walked the ground for a while so it was time.
Note; ‘Soldiers Ground’ is the name given to the area of Umbra Plantation that was used for Confederate military burials during the US Civil War. Charleston was under a naval blockade and the location for multiple battles so there needed to be a burial site nearby.
Wow, TJP…this photo is the very reason I love photography. It holds the mystery of a story untold. I wonder about Annie… someone’s wife, and what happened to her husband. Thanks for sharing. – Dave
And the South Carolina Lowcountry is filled with this too. Ten years ago I knew nothing about this place. We came here in the winter to shoot for two months. After shooting wildlife and historical sites…that were just sitting all around in every day places we went back north long enough to sell, pack, and get back. 😂.
Thanks. If you like shots like these search the word ‘cemetery’ on the web site. Plenty more like that, I am working on some others in Soldiers Ground right now 😃
