(6-2006) Spotsylvania Confederate
Cemetery
This photo was taken on July 25, 2006 towards the back of the Spotsylvania
Confederate Cemetery. Graves are arranged by state and this photo show the
tiny Texas section. Most of the graves had small flags of the CSA and
respective states. Torrential rains had pasted most of the flags, but the
Texas section is located under a tree, so the flags were better protected
from the sheets of rain. States like North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia had
quite large portions of the cemetery. Of course many graves are unknowns,
but a surprising number have names. There were also a number of modern
graves in the cemetery (See photo)

Detail
Wilderness Battlefield
The James S. Wadsworth Monument at The Wilderness Battlefield
near the intersection of NPS Hill-Ewell Drive and the Orange Plank Road
(Route #621). This monument is just off the shoulder of the road. The
entrance and exit to a very large housing development is within a few tens
of yards, so traffic on the one lane road is heavy and surprisingly fast
