Soldiers Cemetery at Andersonville Describes Death Register and Graved
A detailed account of Andersonville Cemetery near the station, its transformation from wartime trenches to a peaceful 24 acre site with brick walls, iron gates, a flagstaff, cannons, and four shaded avenues. It explains the death register system that identified 921 of 12,793 prisoners, the headboards replaced by white marble slabs, and the uniform government gravestones for identified soldiers alongside smaller markers for unknowns. The piece notes orderly rows, inscriptions, and the dignified memorial atmosphere.
