Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book advocates for the use of Portland stone, an artificial stone composed of cement and sand, as the material of choice for headstones in national cemeteries. The author argues that Portland stone is superior to traditional natural stone options such as marble and granite in terms of durability, utility, and cost-effectiveness. The author cites the work of General Gillmore, a United States Army engineer, who conducted extensive research on the properties of Portland stone and found it to be resistant to water penetration, frost damage, and crushing forces. Gillmore also praised Portland stone's strength, hardness, and beauty, noting its potential for use in a wide range of architectural applications, including headstones. The author highlights the importance of headstones in honoring the memory of fallen soldiers and argues that Portland stone is an ideal material for this purpose due to its durability and dignified appearance. The author also discusses the historical use of artificial stone in the construction of ancient landmarks such as the pyramids of Giza and Thebes, demonstrating the longevity and resilience of this material. Overall, this book provides a compelling case for the use of Portland stone in the construction of headstones, offering readers a detailed analysis of the material's properties and historical significance, supported by the research of respected experts in the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332179862_0
