McClellan Gate bears the name McClellan and the name Meigs, and its inscriptions honor the 15,585 buried there among the 315,555 citizens who died in defense of the country from 1861 to 1865. The arch also includes verses declaring that the dead rest on fame's eternal camping ground under glory's guard and that no impious footsteps shall tread on the herbage of their graves.
