Kodi ku Arkansas mungayende bwanji pakati pa anthu osonkhana, a Confederate Generals ndi abwanamkubwa? Manda a Mount Holly, ndithudi. Izi ndizo, ngati simukumbukira nkhani zochepa. Manda a Mount Holly ndi manda otchuka kwambiri mumzinda wa Arkansas.
Ndi malo otsiriza opuma otsogolera oyambirira ambiri kapena Arkansas.
Phiri la Holly si manda akale kwambiri ku Arkansas. Manda Apainiya mu Beti ya Batesville imene imalemekeza. Anakhazikitsidwa mu 1820. Phiri la Holly linakhazikitsidwa mu 1843, lomwe pasanathe zaka khumi kuchokera pamene Arkansas anakhala boma, kuti apereke malo oonjezeramo malo oikidwa m'manda. Phiri la Holly linalembedwa mu National Register of Historic Places mu 1970. Ili pa 12th Street ndi Broadway ku Little Rock, AR.
Manda ndi malo omaliza omwe anapha mnyamata wina wazaka 17, dzina lake David O. Dodd, komanso akuluakulu asanu a Confederate ndi asilikali ambirimbiri a Confederate. Dodd ndi yotchuka kwambiri pa zochitika zapachiweniweni. Anamangidwa ku Ten Mile House pafupi ndi Little Rock ndipo adatsutsidwa kuti apite ku United States pambuyo pake. Dodd ankatchedwa "mnyamata wamphongo wa Confederacy" ndipo manda amamutcha "mnyamata marty."
Kuikidwa m'manda kumeneko kuli abwanamkubwa 10 akale a Arkansas, 6 akuluakulu a United States, akuluakulu 14 a ku Khoti Lalikulu ku Arkansas ndi maya 21 a mzindawu. Mukhozanso kupeza manda a Sanford C. Faulkner - oyambirira a "Arkansas Traveler," William E. Woodruff - yemwe anayambitsa Arkansas Gazette, mkazi wa Cherokee, John Ross ndi Pulitzer Prize winanso John Gould Fletcher kutchula owerengeka.
Kuyenda kudutsa m'manda kuli ngati kuyenda kudutsa m'mbiri. Pafupifupi miyala iliyonse imasonyeza mbiri yaing'ono.
Zojambula mu manda ndi zodabwitsa monga anthu omwe atha miyoyo yawo kumeneko. Zina mwa miyalayi kuyambira zaka za m'ma 1800. Popeza ambiri amatha mapeto a moyo wotchuka, mungathe kulingalira kuti lusoli ndi lopambana. Komabe, ndizosangalatsa kwambiri kuona miyala yamtundu ndi ma epitaphs pa iwo. Phiri la Holly liri ndi kanthu kakang'ono kwa aliyense.
Ngakhale iwo omwe akukhudzidwa ndi zowonjezereka adzakhuta pa Phiri la Holly. Phiri la Holly limalankhula kuti ndilo malo ogwira ntchito zowonongeka. Alendo kumanda adanena kuti mafano ena amasuntha patsogolo pawo ndipo zithunzi zomwe zimatengedwa kumanda zimasonyeza chimodzimodzi. Ndawona zithunzi zomwe zimatengedwa kumanda omwe ali ndi zithunzi zowoneka ngati anthu ovekedwa zovala (ngati mukulephera pang'ono) ndi nyali zachilendo ndi maonekedwe ake. Ena amati amamva kuimba kwaphokoso kumanda. Anthu omwe amakhala pafupi ndi manda adanena kuti kupeza manda kapena ziboliboli zimakhala zozizwitsa m'zitsamba zawo ndipo zimawoneka kuti matabwa amapezeka pamanda. Kodi zonsezi zingathe kufotokozedwa ndi sayansi?
Mwinamwake. Ndikukudandaulirani kuti mupite usiku ndi kamera yanu kuti mudziwe! Pakati pa Halowini, mukhoza kutenga ulendo wamtundu umene ungakulimbikitseni kuchita chimodzimodzi. Usiku ndi nthawi yabwino kuti muwone maonekedwe ndi magetsi ngakhale amatha kuwonanso masana (pamtunda ndi pamamera).
Phiri la Holly liri lotseguka kwa anthu ndipo liri pa msewu wa 12 kumzinda wa Little Rock. Monga Benjamin Franklin kamodzi adanena, "Usawope imfa, pakuti posachedwa tikafa, tidzakhalanso osakhoza kufa" ndipo ma Arkats awa safa.
