Their bodies rest in a very old Cemetery, and LaGrange would like to see these soldiers back home.


Why?

The Confederate States, at the end of the war, recruited very young.

Many of those recruits in the war were 13-16 year olds. We were absolutely desperate.

The LaGrange Cemetery has the cause of death as "bullet-wounds" and disease.

The War at that time was indiscriminate and vicious.

I think that we should show some respect at the moment.

The gravemarks in this area are fading into the Earth, and I think that you owe these "people" a bit of gratitude.
