Mississippi Confederate soldiers rest in Wintergreen Cemetery, Port Gibson, Mississippi, casualties of the Battle of Port Gibson. There are also other CSA buried here.

Old Crystal Springs Cemetery, Copiah Co., MS. It is not unusual for soldiers to have both a civilian monument and a bronze government plaque. This man has both.

Too often we walk past a CSA soldier honored by a civilian monument without recognizing him. However, this man has "CAPT. CSA" engraved on his monument. This is in Frieden's Church Cemetery, Rockingham Co., VA.

The field of mass CSA burial at Maplewood Cemetery, Gordonsville, VA.

The bronze plaque reads, "The Maplewood Memorial Association has erected this tablet as a tribute of respect to some seven hundred Confederate soldiers mainly from North Carolina and Georgia who laid down their lives for the cause they loved and lost. Their names are perished. May their memory be imperishable!"

Cane Ridge Cemetery, Jefferson Co., MS. The pointy-top government marker is easy to spot in a cemetery. This marker belongs to Isaac N. Bedford of the 33rd Miss Inf, Co. D.
