120 miles
Oct 19 – The
road into Monitor seems grim and depressing.
I guess that’s the downside of judging a place from just one photo. Monitor is a very small town (342 people),
and the most interesting thing I can find out about is the name. In 1902, the citizens named it after the
ironclad warship USS Monitor, the famous Union battleship in the Civil
War. It’s interesting that people in the
West would choose to honor that particular heritage 40 years after the
war. The citizens involved in the
decision may have been veterans or children of Union sailors on that warship.
