Here’s a different perspective of East Cemetery Hill and the iconic Evergreen Cemetery gatehouse, taken from Wainwright Avenue. I particularly like this view . . . Hays’ Louisiana Tigers must have a similar view as they trekked up over the picturesque rolling meadows opposite the hill. And of course there’s artillery (albeit hard to see). The prominent statuary monument to the right of the gatehouse memorializes the 4th Ohio Infantry. Now all we have to do is get rid of the power lines . . .
