54th Mass. buried in PA
Colored Troops buried in PA
54th Mass. troops buried in Columbia
The 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, the second all-colored regiment in the U.S. Army (the 1st Kansas was...well, the 1st), was formed after the Battle of Antietam during the American Civil War - featured in the movie GLORY.
Yes, I know, there's a T in one of the music credits... should read Closing.
If you found that T - you should be able to find Zion Hill Cemetery.
Washington Crossing the Delaware in the Popular Culture
Note that virtually all of these images were inspired by the famous painting by Emanuel Leutze. But how many of the details in the depiction of the famous crossing did Leutze get right? And how many more did the artist get wrong? Executed 75 years after the event depicted, the painting was propagandistic: Leutze hoped the image would inspire liberal reformers rising up against repressive European regimes in 1848. Does it matter that Washington is too old in the painting? That he would not have been standing? That it’s the wrong time of day? That the boat is too small? That the ice is oceanic? And, most arrestingly, that the flag so prominently featured, had not yet been created? Regardless of the inaccuracies, the event deserves the attention it continues to receive in the popular culture, but see the clip at to understand the significance of Washington’s bold decision to cross the river and engage Hessian mercenaries at Trenton.
The clips are from Cingular Ad; NBC: “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”; Disney: Moochie of Pop Warner Football (1960); At the Circus (1939); NBC: “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson”; Ten Gentlemen from West Point (1942); WGN: “Bozo the Clown”; “I Love Lucy”; History Channel: “History for Kids”; “Bugs’ History Lesson”; “Animaniacs”; “Gumby”; “The Muppets”; “Popeye”; “Real Monsters”; “Rugrats”; “Ned’s Newt”; Adult Swim: “Robot Chicken”; “Teen Titans”; “Scooby Do”; “Doug”; “Peabody and Sherman”; Ad for the U.

01:31:25 17 Notes and references
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
You can find other Wikipedia audio articles too at:

SUMMARY
=======
Springfield is a city in the state of Massachusetts, United States, and the seat of Hampden County. Springfield sits on the eastern bank of the Connecticut River near its confluence with three rivers: the western Westfield River, the eastern Chicopee River, and the eastern Mill River. As of the 2010 Census, the city's population was 153,060. Metropolitan Springfield, as one of two metropolitan areas in Massachusetts (the other being Greater Boston), had a population of 692,942 as of 2010.The first Springfield in the New World, it is the largest city in western New England, and the urban, economic, and cultural capital of Massachusetts' Connecticut River Valley (colloquially known as the Pioneer Valley). It is the third-largest city in Massachusetts and fourth-largest in New England after Boston, Worcester, and Providence. Springfield has several nicknames – The City of Firsts, due to the many innovations developed there, such as the first American dictionary, the first American gas-powered automobile, and the first machining lathe for interchangeable parts; The City of Homes, due to its Victorian residential architecture; and Hoop City, as basketball – one of the world's most popular sports – was invented in Springfield in 1891 by James Naismith.
Hartford, the capital of Connecticut, lies 24 miles (39 km) south of Springfield, on the western bank of the Connecticut River. The Hartford-Springfield region is known as the Knowledge Corridor because it hosts over 160,000 university students and over 32 universities and liberal arts colleges – the second-highest concentration of higher-learning institutions in the United States. The city of Springfield itself is home to Springfield College, Western New England University, American International College, and Springfield Technical Community College, among other higher educational institutions.
