The Sarcophagus of the Civil War

Aaron Mankey: Every plot of land has a story to tell, often it has to do with what stood there long ago and how that was erased in favor of the thing we see today. He says during the war of 1812, American troops and settlers sent wave after wave of attacks against the Native people of the area. In fact, as new communities were built, their lack of sanitation led to a slew of diseases like dysentery and cholera. After they are layers of stone or humanity's best intentions, everything eventually breaks down. And sometimes the results are more than a little haunting.
