Awhile back I was in Adrian, Michigan got this little booklet and found it interesting. The Nash-Hodges Camp of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War gave a Oakwood Cemetery Civil War Tour. The booklet covers 32 graves of the Civil War veterans in the cemetery. I not sure the SUVCW gave a talk at each grave site during the tour. The SUVCW published extra booklets which are sold (perhaps the booklet was free, I just don't remember) at the local history museum. The 15 images and cemetery map are nice to have.
I have helped to give few cemetery tours for the genealogy society my wife was in, but we did not publish a little booklet like this. One of the grave I had to give a 15 minute presentation at was the grave of an escaped slave who join the US Navy. He had a civilian marker but no indication he was a Civil War veteran. I assume he does not get a flag on his grave for Veteran's Day.
