The naval hospital and shipyard above Cairo handled the wounded off the river gunboats, and the dead were buried here: around five thousand Union graves, more than two thousand of them unknown, and Confederate prisoners in the same ground. A granite shaft in the middle was raised for the unidentified.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
