Erin Go Bragh: Green-Wood Cemetery Tour 2

Love that Irish lilt, of course it sounds much better coming from Noelle O'Reilly. Here's audio I recorded of the ceremonies commemorating The Battle Of Brooklyn at Green-Wood yesterday combined with pics I took. It's a bigger file than usual (6.2MB) because I inserted explanatory text with the slides. Charles Higgins was a County Letrim man as mentioned by Timothy O'Connor. The picture with the post is the site, still there on 9th Street (the blue house), of where his original Higgins' Ink Company was located in the late 1800's early 1900's. I'm not very proud of my Orthodox Jewish "Landsmen" who is the owner of the property threatening the view to the Statue Of Liberty from Minerva.
