In Arlington National Cemetery, there is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which contains the remains of a dead soldier(s) who is unidentified, “known but to God.” The anonymity of the entombed soldier is the key
Every Labor Day I dust off my framed copy of The Toiler. The all-but-forgotten newspaper was published in Fulton by the Knights of Labor, an early union which I’ve often written about, especially on Labor Day. The Knights “tried to teach the American wage-earner that he was a wage-earner
