Then

This is from an April 1865 photo by the noted photographer, Matthew Brady, showing soldiers, sill in uniform, inspecting the church and cemetery.  There were eventually 30,000 Confederate dead from all over the south who were buried here.

Now

An almost identical view and prospective of the church and cemetery taken by Margaret Gagliari in June of 2006.  Over 2 weekends, Margaret with Ken Schultz, took hundreds of photos of tombstones, monuments and area views which will be posted online so please bookmark this site and return frequently for updates.
