Confederate Cemetery

Until 1972, these graves were marked only with small rough field stones, which remain in place alongside newer Veterans Administration markers. Research by Dr. John B. Floyd, Jr., revealed the names of the soldiers buried here, but because it was not possible to determine which soldier was buried in which grave, a new marker was placed at each grave. This area was also involved in various incidents of fighting, including actions connected with the main battlefield during the heaviest fighting on August 29 and 30, 1862.
