Mrs. Two Guns and myself took a ride to St. Francisville, Louisiana. Myself on the VTX, and her on her new Honda Shadow.
We Live in so much history down here. And we try to take advantage of all we can for what we got down here. Pre Civil War and antibellum homes, and so many Battlefields, old trails from back in the civil war.
Even when we have time, do some "diggin", (of course, we have permission from different property owners ) finding old civil war items. This is where the
KUBOTA RTV comes into play.. We ride the bikes looking first, then we get a plan together, then on later date, load up the RTV.
She is also a photographer, and enjoys taking pics
of history. Old cemeteries tells storys of the good, bad, evil from days gone by. Also, there are some great things to find that many
don't even know has even happened.
Here is one that is from that area we went riding our bikes to, need to read this, it will blow your mind !!!! How the south, let the north bury a special officer, and a fellow mason, during a battle !!!
... the artwork, the detail of some of these markers will just take your breathe. Some of the letters and wordings is amazing of the lives these men lived. Some, as you can see in the pictures, will have his rifle, sword, carry bags, canteen, and hat. History is there, just walk around and see !!!
This cemetary and church, is just a few hundred yards from the Mississippi River where the Ironclads of the civil war traveled. They were constantly throwing shells at this area. The church and some other old building there still have battle scars from years ago .....
