I've noticed that on several of the VA headstones over Confederate generals like Baker in the previous post, Savannah's Hugh Mercer pictured earlier, and and Mississippi's Benjamin Humphreys in the Port Gibson Cemetery above their correct rank is stated but also the infantry regiment they began the war commanding. That seems like it will definitely cause confusion for later genealogists who won't know any better! Although already posted in this thread, the cemetery is also the location of the grave of Earl Van Dorn below, who for some reason has both a VA as well as a civilian headstone:

I haven't seen Early's before, that I remember anyway. That's a really a nice monument.

Well, if it weren't, Ol' Jube would have let someone know.

Whenever I take a trip I always make a point to visit the local cemeteries and look for "famous" folks that might be buried there. CW generals are photographed and checked off my list. I am working my way, slowly, through making a photographic catalog of burial sites. Over the next few days I will post some of the ones I have so far.

Looks like a beautiful location and a fascinating grave marker.

@Norman Dasinger Jr Underrated because of his ignominious encounter with Forrest?

 

[Norman Dasinger Jr]

His tactical abilities versus Forrest and and bravery in the field versus Forrest
Losing your entire command is bad, real bad, however.

I buy that analysis. The result overshadowed everything else. His subsequent record was solid, too.

After checking, it appears Brigadier General Alfred Mouton's grave at St. John's Cemetery in Lafayette LA. hasn't been posted.
