Some super photos there, doesn't look like it's changed much from when I visited back in 1997.

Did you see the 'Raiders' gravestones? As I recall, they were buried separately from all the other poor fellows.

I did not manage to find the "Raiders'" gravestones I had heard the same story about their being buried separately. I'm not sure if or how those stones may be marked.

They are very easy to find,on the right hand side when you look at the rotundra.

Awesome pictures, thank you. My 2nd Great Grandfather was held there. I would love to go some day. Just because i feel I should.

Was on a two week road trip and made a stop here for the first time. I'm surprised I didn't run into bdtex along the way since it looks like we hit some of the same spots.

I hope you make it there. Don't think you will be disappointed.

This is a Lithograph passed down to me from my Grandmother, and the other image (the one I use for my avatar) is my 2nd Great Grandfather "Big" Pete Aubrey who was the Chief of Police/Regulator in Andersonville Prison.

Great thread.

Great thread.

Yes it is. It is a shame that it and many other great threads keep getting pushed off the page by a certain poster.

bthorp77, Did any oral history get passed down around Big Pete Aubrey? I'm digging to see if I can pull off a book on the Regulators now that I have one on the Raiders. Coincidentally, Big Pete is buried a couple towns over from me, in Northampton, MA.
