[Second Plaque:]
From The Bivouac of the Dead
by Theodore O’Hara
The muffled drum’s sad roll had beat
The soldier’s last tattoo;
No more on life’s parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame’s eternal camping-ground
Their silent tears are spread,
And Glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead.
Marker is on Midway Road south of Interstate 80.
