Additional Description: Beneath this mound rest in sleep that knows no waking more than one hundred Confederate soldiers from Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama who were killed in the Battle of Fishing Creek, Jan. 19, 1862. We know not who they were but the whole world knows what they were.

These died far from their homes but they fill heroes' graves and glory keeps ceaseless watch about their tomb.

Placed by The United Confederate Veterans Association in 1910.
