CONFEDERATE CEMETERY
421 unknown Confederate, four known Confederate
and four unknown Federal soldiers are buried here. Some of these
men died of wounds received in the Battles of Stone's River,
Perryville, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, Missionary
Ridge, and other battles fought north of here. Others died of
disease and sickness. Located here, in 1862-1864, were several
important Confederate Hospitals where thousands were treated
and nursed back to health. Hospitals were moved south of this
point in early May 1864 to get out of the path of invading Federals.
