Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. Ronald Reagan

“The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow.”

Gracie Watson is a bit of a little legend… and ghost story.

It all started in 1883 when Gracie, the only child, was born to W.J. and Frances Watson. Her father managed the Pulaski Hotel. Gracie would play in the hotel lobby, sing and dance, and play the piano for the guests. She became very popular in Savannah and was loved by everyone that met her. Two days before Easter in 1889, when Gracie was just 6 years old, she passed away from pneumonia. Her father never could move past the grief, and in 1890, he commissioned sculptor John Walz to create a statue from a photograph taken not long before her death. The life-sized likeness of the monument is uncanny and is said to be one of Georgia’s only funerary monuments sculpted in such a way.

Over time, Gracie’s monument gathered more and more attention as people started leaving her gifts, toys, and trinkets. Some people believed she could grant them good luck or that if you took any of the offerings left for her, then her statue would cry tears of blood (this is just a story as far as we know).

At some point the nose on her statue needed to be replaced as it was damaged (the exact cause is unknown). Due to this destruction, safety measures were put in place to help protect her monument. Beautiful bushes were planted around her and a wrought iron fence was put up in 1999. But, you can still go visit the forever-loved little girl who now resides in the Bonaventure Cemetery.

"Let it never be said, that in a day of action, you turned your backs on the foe; let the enemy no longer triumph. They brand you with ignominious epithets. Will you patiently endure that reproach? Will you suffer the wounds given to your Country to go unrevenged? Will you resign your parents, wives, children and friends to be the wretched vassals of a proud, insulting foe? And your own necks to the halter? General Howe promised protection to such as submitted to his power; and a few dastard souls accepted the disgraceful boon. But his promises were deceitful; the submitting and resisting had their property alike plundered and destroyed. But even these empty promises have come to an end; the term of Mercy is expired, General Howe has, within a few days proclaimed, all who had not then submitted, to be beyond the reach of it, and has left us no choice but Conquest or Death. Nothing then remains, but nobly to contend for all that is dear to us. Every motive that can touch the human breast calls us to the most vigorous exertions. Our dearest rights, our dearest friends, and our own lives, honor, glory and even shame, urge us to the fight. And My fellow Soldiers! when an opportunity presents, be firm, be brave; shew yourselves men, and victory is yours." George Washington, General Orders, Head Quarters, at Wentz's, Worcester Township, October 3, 1777
