"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" goes the poem; that cloud should have wandered over to Maryland, where it would have had plenty of company. Anyway, the Havre de Grace GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) monument is located in Angel Hill Cemetery. It is surrounded by the tombstones of 40 or so Union veterans and a low slung fence. The inscription on the bronze plaque is as follows:
Erected

Grand Army
Of The Republic

What a sweet spot. I love that the memorial is for all veterans of the war, not just the Union.
Maryland Civil War monuments tend to be diplomatic.
