CONFEDERATE CEMETERY,
JOHNSON’S ISLAND
Close
by are historical markers that provide vivid details of daily life at the
prison.
Reading the narrative conjures up images of living, breathing human
beings struggling to deal with the ugly realities of survival during wartime
while maintaining their dignity.
After
contemplating the site’s history, one can head toward the northern end of the
cemetery where a large, bronze statue of a Confederate soldier stands watch.
