Focus on Arlington National Cemetery: Arlington was one of 74 national cemeteries established during the Civil War. They were all born of necessity: so many men to bury and so many families in ruins financially, From 12,000 graves at the end of 1865, the numbers have increased to more than 400,000. The cemetery took its name from Arlington House, also known as the Custis-Lee Mansion (see it?). [2019]
