Mine is buried at Cave Hill in Louisville KY (where I live quite close to). I visit every Veterans Day. Brigadier General Alpheus Baker CSA. Pretty fascinating guy. Passed in 1891 and his request was to be buried amongst his men in the CSA portion of the Cemetery with a standard marker. I've been there many times visiting many USA and CSA graves, quite breathtaking when you see their ages
During a reenactment I was a part of at Resaca years ago, we participated in the Confederate memorial service and was in the firing squad for three 21 gun salute.
Gentlemen,,THANK YOU!! I know how much you love GettISburg and remembering these other solemn places show's just how much you are dedicated to the teaching and sharing the Civil War with so many people,, Jefferson Barracks is another place here in St Louis that people should come visit! It's an amazing place,,,so much history here too! Shiloh is another place that will take your breath away. I hope you went to the Railroad Museum in Big Shanty ( Kennesaw) while you were there!
I was at the Santa Fe National Cemetery when Confederate bodies were buried there. The skeletons were found at the area where the Battle of Glorieta was fought. This was the furthest west battle before Confederates were defeated.
I remember a few years ago visiting a Confederate monument in a small cemetery in New Mexico. Do believe it was in the vicinity of Socorro, NM. Nice memorial dedicated to the soldiers that fought/died during the Confederate invasion of New Mexico and their march north towards Glorietta Pass. If remember correctly, those soldiers were from the battle(s) at Fort Craig, Valverde, and the march northward.
Great to see the Marietta National and City cemeteries. My grandfather was the superintendent of the Marietta National Cemetery in the 40's. My family and mother lived in the superintendent's onsite house in the background of your talk and I still have peonies in my yard now that were offshoots of the originals from around that house. I have family also buried in the city cemetery so always good to see both.
Great video, thank you ABT. I have always enjoyed walking though cemeteries and seeing the different dates and words on them. I moved to WV in 2022 to be closer to civil war/us history and on a recon trip I visited Gettysburg for the first time in my life and went down to Arlington and spent the whole day walking among what I see as honorable men and women who lie there. I took a video of one of the caisson’s as it came by and I stood at attention. My sister said it was morbid, she is stupid and I’ve created a barrier to keep her negativity out of my life. Thank you battlefield trust for great educational videos!
Thank you for highlighting the cemeteries around Marietta. There's an impressive Memorial Day service at the National we try to attend every year. Jim Ogden at Chickamauga told me he was fairly certain my direct ancestor is one of the Georgia unknowns in the Confederate cemetery after I told him the details of his brothers burying him on the Chickamauga battlefield then losing the location. There's an interesting story you may not have heard how some Marietta ladies were forensically trained to look for graves. They were the ones who located the unknowns and brought them down from the various battlefields north of Marietta. Thanks again.
I keyed in on the name William Henry Seward at about the 10:27 min mark. Did a search wondering if he was related to the famous W H Seward Lincoln's secty of state. Have not figured that out yet. What was interesting is that although he died in action (helicoptor pilot Vietnam) in 1968, over 40 yrs later his remains were found and later buried at Arlington. So he has 2 memorials, incl the "In memory of" in Marietta.
When James McPherson was killed in the Battle of Atlanta Hooker figured Sherman would name him to replace McPherson as commander of the Army of the Tennessee. When Sherman instead named Hooker's subordinate Oliver Howard to take command of it, that was the ultimate insult to Hooker, as he always blamed Howard for the defeat at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
National Cemeteries were established as the final resting place for those who died to preserve the Union. The belief was there should be no burial place of honor in a National cemetery for those trying to destroy the Union; think Arlington cemetery planted to be an "in the face graveyard afront" to Robert E. Lee. However, at Gettysburg, there’s still a Confederate mass burial trench in the Culp’s Hill area. In the winter when the ground is bare, you can see the depressions where the ground's settled into the graves below.
I like to walk the National Cemetery at Andersonville. This one goes into the Afghan and Iraq wars. What caught me off guard is the women who died in combat. I had forgotten the cost of war is now equal.
6:00 The fact that most served in units that represented their state and even regions within their state, it stands to reason that they'd want to be buried likewise. That should carry up the line from battalion, regiment, division, corps, army and even belligerent.
Great video on the cemetaries Gary. I was very much surprised when you mentioned a grave at 4:35, grave #1146 R.R. Eggleston, which happens to be my last name also. IDK if he is in anyway related to me, but I do know that there were really big families way back in the day, so it could be a relative...some how..which would be cool.
Perhaps you could get some medical historian who would talk about how the battle wounded were treated in the civil war, and how battle wounded are treated today.
Cassville, Georgia has the final resting place for 293 unknown Sons of the South as well as 21 identified ones. The entire town was destroyed by Sherman's butchers. Including an all womens college.
What you forgot to mention was that Confederate Generals Johnston, Polk and Hood set up a defensive position at Cassville. Johnson intended to fight there. And Union forces shelled the town and Johnson's Army. No butchery. Cassville was a legitimate military target and it was burned as enemy contraband.
My great-great-great grandpa isn't buried at Andersonville Cemetery, he's buried with his family in Missouri. I'm wondering if some of his fellow soldiers are at Andersonville. Do they have a list of the names on the headstones online?
The Confederate dead got buried in trenches, as they were in Shiloh, or maybe like at Corinth, where they had a little dirt thrown on them and the animals would dig them out. The report on the dead at Corinth was hogs would be seen walking down the street with an arm or leg in their mouth. Tell the real story about the Union cruelty in the war. 11:57 that is Wisteria not Ivy.I've. 13:38 I hate when people walk on the graves. It shows absolutely no respect for the dead. Unknown soldiers deserve better. 14:21 Notice these aren't government headstones. The government has now refused to issue Confederate headstones, but you can still get Union headstones. Sorry Rebs, you're not worthy.
Excellent historical information. I had heard when I was a kid that the headstones, of Union and Confederate soldiers, were intentionally different. The Union ones were a rounded top, and Confederate were shaped in a peak. Was told that Confederates refused the rounded one because, "No Yankee was gonna wanna sit on my headstone"! Any truth in this???
EPITATH to our PATRIOT For the AMERICAN SOLDIER, WHO have served and died WORLDWIDE earlier than the LORD'S YEAR OF 2025.

@AmericanBattlefieldTrust oh dear...been a couple times and never even noticed the small museum 😀! Of course i walked the grounds, and the reconstructed camp. Just checked the DNR website and it appears they may be slightly behind schedule; a notice speaks of the 2024 closure and this notice is still up, even though we're almost to February. Thanks for responding. i'm not a Lost Causer who cries in comments that y'all love to cover Andersonville and never cover Union POW camps (i MAY have said something to the effect on +/- one or two occasions but that's it 😁). i just think Camp Hoffman is special (not in a nice way) because of its unique (isolated), geography and (harsh) climate - and its connection to the story of the Battle of Monacacy. And lol...i know it's not exactly a short ride any way you cut it (almost 2 hrs. for me, and i'm near Baltimore). But maybe sometime this year you can make it. Hopefully the museum is open and it's not in the middle of summer 😊
@@ThreeZeroOne when the museum is back open I'll reach out to see if they want to have us, that way we can hopefully shoot an artifacts vid as well. If you see anything about it reopening just leave a comment - Andy (your fellow "near" Baltimorean)
I grew up just outside Andersonville Georgia. This is such a sad tragic place.
I can't say enough how much I enjoy this whole channel and organization.
@@tannerelliott9991 thank you!
Thank you Garry and Kris for the tour of this Civil War in Marietta Georgia Cemetery. 🇺🇸💕👊👍
Andersonville is one of the most solemn places I’ve ever visited. When you see the graves, it makes you speechless.
My great great grandfather is buried somewhere in Georgia, died in the battles around Atlanta, most likely one of the unknowns…
So sorry.
@@Codie-jt7kqWhy are you sorry?
@@johnqpublic2718 it would be nice if they knew where their great great grandfather was.

Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond is particularly interesting. I have 2 family members there.
The Resaca Confederate Cemetery is well worth a visit.
It is a wonderful, peaceful place. Thank you, Confederate Women

Thanks for covering the Marietta cemetery. It was truly a sight to see when snow collected on the headstones a few weeks ago.

Interestingly, the US Army eventually provided headstones to Confederate as well as Union soldiers.

Actually 3 memorials, incl one in Honolulu, if Find a Grave can be believed.
Wonderful review and thank you.
Lived in the Atlanta area for a while and never knew those cemeteries were there. Wow

Great video!! We have a confederate section at Greenwood Cemetery in Orlando FL
My father and mother are both buried in the Marietta cemetery. Near by is a Confederate cemetery about half mile away.
Wish I had you guys as my history professors

Who operates or owns the Confederate cemetery in this video?
The State of Georgia owns it and the Marietta Confederate Cemetery Foundation aids with preservation and upkeep.

In higginsville missouri there is a national cemetery for missouri veterans, but a lot of general joe Shelbys men are buried there.
