Memorial to the Unknown and Unrecorded Dead

(Front):To the

Unknown and Unrecorded

Dead.(Left Side):Erected. A.D. 1879. By the people of the South.

To the 829 unknown Confederate dead

who lie beneath this mound.

In grateful remembrance of their heroic virtues.

And that their example of unstinted devotion

to duty and country may never be forgotten.

Their silent tents are spread;

While glory guards with solemn round

This bivouac of the dead."

(Right Side):Who they were none know

What they were all know
