Wayne..I was there last June and it is a fabulous cemetery. Confederate soldiers are buried thru-out the cemetery and not only in the Confederate section. I recollect a few: Lt Col. George Gantt,9th Battalion Tennessee cavalry. Brigadier General Robert Richardson. Governor Isham Harris. Major General Gideon Pillow has a fascinating tombstone with a long description of his part in the Ft Donelson fight. And the famous author Shelby Foote next to several of General Forrest's brothers.
