Companion page to the Vicksburg National Cemetery. More of the 7 Gypsies paper. When I first won this as part of a package I wasn't sure what to use them on but I have been using them a lot on these Vicksburg pages.

Journaling: " Others who died during the Federal occupation of Vicksburg were buried at various points in the Vicksburg vicinity prior to the cemetery's establishment. Record-keeping was haphazard under wartime conditions and these grave locations were often lost. Following the Civil War, the U.S. Army located and exhumed the remains of 300,000 Union soldiers buried in the South, re-interring the remains in national cemeteries throughout the country.

At Vicksburg National Cemetery, 75% of the Civil War dead are listed as unknowns of 18,244 internments there are 12,954 unidentified. Rounded, upright headstones mark the graves of the known soldiers, while small, square blocks, etched with a grave number only, designate the burials of the unknowns. A few graves are marked by nongovernment-issued headstones. "
