1906, John P. Nicholson, Charles A. Richardson, L[unsford] L[indsay] Lomax, “Report of the Gettysburg National Park Commission”, in Annual Reports of the War Department for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1906, volumes IV (Militia Affairs; Military Schools and Colleges; and Military Parks), Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, →OCLC, page 312:In the present day, New England's stonewalls are the lineaments of her former agrarian vitality. They outline what used to be farm roads, fields, barnyards, pens, cellars, dooryards, empoundments, millraces, bridges, culverts, and graves. […] Stonewalls both preserve and evince the structuring presence of the past. They offer weft to the warp of the land.
