The remains of 137 Confederate soldiers killed in action or mortally wounded during the Gettysburg Campaign rest here. These men represent the approximately 1,600 North Carolinians who fell during the campaign, and North Carolinians accounted for one-third of the total Confederate dead at Gettysburg. The soldiers were reinterred to this location in 1871 under the care of the Wake County Ladies Memorial Association in cooperation with Dr. Rufus Weaver of Pennsylvania.
