From Wikipedia: During the American Civil War Mound City was the site of the Mound City Naval Hospital. The cemetery was used to inter both Union and Confederate soldiers who died while under care at the hospital. After it was declared a National Cemetery in 1864 several nearby battlefield cemeteries arranged to have their remains reinterred here. This is located in Pulaski County, Illinois and this holiday season wreaths were placed at most of the tombstones
interesting history and wonderful to see the christmas wreaths at the union and confederate soldiers tombstones.
