Thanks for this interesting story.i live in oneida county, just a couple miles from oswego county border. Its pronounced with a big E, not like an A, but just a minor point. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for watching! We appreciate you positive feedback!
Here in my hometown there are 13 unknown confederate graves buried on the Natchez trace parkway 8 miles from tupelo Mississippi. Where the battle of tupelo was fought on July 14/15,1864 as well as the battle of Brice's Crossroads on June 10,1864 which is 10 miles away from the burial spot.
The tablet reads:
"Were they some of Shiloh’s wounded who retreated here in 1862 to die beside the Natchez Trace? Did they serve under the daring General Nathan Forest who passed this way in 1864? Or were they guarding the Tupelo headquarters of J.B. Hood’s Army of Tennessee near the end of the Civil War? We may never know.
Tradition holds that the unknown graves in front of you belong to Confederate soldiers who marched and camped along this stretch of the Old Trace. Perhaps they died of wounds, or the lingering hunger, poverty, and sickness in the army camps. Their simple grave markers face backwards-toward the Trace-so travelers might read and remember."
Thank you for watching and helping too preserve some of the history of the area!
