    The local SCV camp members maintain that cemetery. Many of these soldiers died in a hospital nearby and were buried in a different area which was prone to flooding. Many of the grave markers were wooden and a lot of them were lost to flooding. Around the turn of the century (I believe) some of the vets in the area had the bodies moved to this location and they are burried in that mass grave area in the back. They gathered as many of the names as they were able to and put them on those large markers by state/unit. My g-g-g grandfather was in the 33rd Alabama and is believed to be buried there. Thanks for posting this!

    Andy, you missed one of the most visited graves there..the remains of an unknown Civil War veteran KIA on Missionary Ridge when someone was redoing their house. He was unearthed and reburied with military honors with dual Federal and Confederate in the late 1990’s. Reenactors served as honor guards.

    • @AndysJourneys
      @AndysJourneys  4 года назад

    Being from the state of Alabama, both sides of the family, and a few from Texas, I need to visit that cemetery. You are so right, no matter what side they were from we need to respect them in their death. Thank you so much for doing this.

    Some of those grave memorials and tombstones are really beautiful. I agree with you that we all need to be respectful no matter who the adversary in war is. I'm from Alabama and it's interesting that a lot of the fallen there are from my home state. Of course, we are very close to Tennessee. Awesome video Andy! Stay safe and God bless you. 😃🇺🇸👍🙏✝️

    Love the gate ! Nice architecture, but places like this usually do. There is something about cemeteries and the stories behind those graves sites. Its nice that the Confederate have cemetarties like this.

    • @AndysJourneys
      @AndysJourneys  4 года назад

      Yeah back in the days when these were built, people wanted to add some nice entrances or decorations. I wish that more modern places would do this.

    Hey Andy, I messaged you on Instagram to make sure you were okay after the storms lol. I went out to chatsworth, Ga today and it was really bad. Such a crazy Easter weekend. I’m familiar with the story of Mr Searcy, was planning to visit sometime in the future. Thanks for the video
