Over one million of our ancestors served their nation, and we who are
linked to them are duty bound to preserve their memory. Each one is to be recognized and given the
due honor that, for many, was denied them in life. We cannot rewrite our history. We must seek to fully preserve it in any
form. Part of our written and visual
history is the final resting places of those who sacrificed all for the Cause
in which they believed. Each prior generation has given us a very precious heritage. With that heritage comes the
responsibility to protect and preserve the memories and monuments of all who
served their nation. Confederate Hill embodies the zenith of our duty to
honor our ancestors, preserve our history, and respect our heritage. Confederate Hill contains the earthly
remains and historic stones of 610 Soldiers, Sailors, and one Marine. In their name, we are asking for your help. |

The marker of S. D. Mothershead is
fairly typical of the condition in which the markers on Confederate Hill will
be found today. |

The markers on Confederate Hill, in
a tight formation, as if on perpetual parade. |
