Re: "Honor Confederate Dead" -DailyAmericanCitizen

I tried to upload some images stored on a blog but had no luck, so I'm going to type a few of the articles. These will only be portions of the articles as some are very long.

Honor Confederate Dead

Nearly one-tenth of the entire number of Confederate soldiers who died in Northern prisons during the civil war lie buried at old Camp Chase, near Columbus, Ohio, unmarked even by wooden headstones; 2,260 graves there tell of the heroism with which Confederate soldiers perished on Northern soil. Since the late war these graves have been neglected, but plans are now on foot for erecting at Camp Chase an appropriate memorial to cost not less than $4,000. This will be the gift of Confederate veterans in Ohio and other states.
