Shiloh National Cemetery
Shiloh National Cemetery, Military cemetery in Shiloh, United States.
The National Cemetery spans across a hillside containing granite headstones marking the final resting place of 3,584 Civil War soldiers.
Initially named Pittsburg Landing National Cemetery in 1866, workers recovered remains from 156 battlefield locations and 565 sites along the Tennessee River.
The cemetery demonstrates a distinction between known soldiers marked with tall gravestones and unknown soldiers designated with shorter, square stones.
The National Park Service maintains this cemetery within Shiloh National Military Park, providing visitors access to burial records and historical information.
Among the interred rest six Wisconsin color bearers, Captain Edward Saxe, and George Ross, a Revolutionary War soldier, representing different military periods.
