A visit to the Mound City National Cemetery in Mound City, Illinois in Pulaski County.
..."During the American Civil War, Mound City was the site of the Mound City Civil War Naval Hospital. The cemetery was used to inter both Union and Confederate soldiers who died while under care at the hospital. After it was officially declared a National Cemetery in 1864, several nearby battlefield cemeteries arranged to have their remains reinterred there."....
