The general area of the cemetery encompassed most of the parking area and extended across Canada Street. Many soldiers died from wounds inflicted during battle, but most deaths were related to infection and disease. In 1842, the marks of a thousand graves could be seen among the trees, and most had been opened, with bones and skulls dug up in great numbers.
