Accounts of the first incident in which the ladies of Columbus decorated the graves of soldiers buried there often say the women laid wreaths on the graves. The instant mental image I get is a wreath of evergreens, such as are put on graves at Christmas time. But I doubt that's what they used. Does anyone know what sort of foliage or other material would commonly have been used to make wreaths at the time?
