the nearly 17,000 Union soldiers buried here, about 13,000 are unknown.
Established in 1866, the cemetery is also the final resting place for
veterans of the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, and the
Korean Conflict. It was closed to burials in 1961. Many Confederates who
died during the siege are buried in Vicksburg's Cedar Hill Cemetery |
