I miss your archaeology articles. I recently visited the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks. What a breathtaking sight. Camp Sherman during the civil war was established there and a few mounds were dug up and barracks put in their place. I imagine the boys in blue had more than a few tales about this place after dark. I was the only one there that day and had the circle to myself standing near the tree to the right in the picture. I had this unbelievable urge to sing.

That would be Camp Logan during the civil war and Camp Sherman during world war I. Either way, building your barracks over burial grounds wasn’t an intelligent decision. The boys in Kentucky called them haints. I saw one once in a top hat and cape walking on the side of I-75 near midnight going to work. I didn’t look in the rear view mirror through total fear.
