I am the author of Wiregrass to Appomattox: The Untold Story of the 50th Georgia Infantry Regiment, CSA. I hope to be visiting the Knoxville area in the next few weeks and would like to locate the Middle Brook Hospital Cemetery, if it exists. The 50th Georgia Infantry Regiment participated in the disasterous attack on Fort Sanders in November 1863, and I my research indicates that several of the ill and wounded were taken to Middle Brook Hospital. I understand there was a cemetery next to the hospital. Some 50th Georgians died at the hospital and I am trying to find out if any were buried in the cemetery. It would mean a lot of some of the 50th Georgia descendants if I could find the final resting place of their ancestor.
Any assistance to verify the existance of the cemetery, where it is located, and any burial records would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jim Parrish
