Quiet Acres: The Story of the Mound City National Cemetery
The small national cemetery near Mound City, Illinois reflects a moment in time when geography determined the fate of southernmost Illinois during the Civil War. North America's largest rivers converged at the tip of the state and that's where federal land and naval forces gathered to defend against the south. But soon, those forces launched attacks against Confederate strongholds that would eventually reopen the Mississippi River and split the south in half. As men and material flowed into combat, the sick and wounded returned to convalesce in the Mound City military hospital.
