The Virginia in the Civil War Message Board

New Hollywood Cemetery book

Chris Ferguson's new book, "Southerners at Rest: Confederate Dead at Hollywood Cemetery," is now available. Chris is a Confederate records expert and a Hollywood Cemetery authority and tour guide. He has spent thousands of hours correcting the old 1869 roster of almost 14,000 dead Confederate soldiers and officials buried in Richmond, Virginia's [and the South's] most famous cemetery. The original roster had many wrong names and units which meant that many Southern families never new where their soldier was buried. This 336 page hardback will help clear up the mystery for many present-day American families. Chris also included many previously unpublished soldiers' photos.
