Point Lookout Confederate Cemetery

Notes:
During the Civil War, Point Lookout was one of the largest prisons of CSA POWs. Many men died there from exposure, malaria, scurvy and TB. Originally, the soldiers were buried in two cemeteries near the prison camp.

The monument includes 12 bronze tablets inscribed with the names and command of 3,382 known Confederate soldiers and sailors, and 44 civilians who were buried at the prison. Four of these tablets are attached to the base of the monument, and eight are on the grass mound supporting the monument.
