The tour 2 - part 2 revised

link to The tour - part 1 The high school of the young lady mentioned above is named after the the nearby Civil War battlefield. The link says

... over 5,350 soldiers were killed in the battle fought here from June 19, 1864 through July 2, 1864.

If I take the road from my house, past her high school, and go southwest, I come to Marietta.

There are three cemeteries next to downtown. The one to the east is a National Cemetery.

Here rest the remains of 10,312 Officers and Soldiers who died in defense of the Union 1861-1865.

One of the two to the south is the Marietta Confederate Cemetery

Established in 1863, this was originally the resting place for 20 Confederate soldiers killed in a train wreck north of town. Located in Land Lot 1290, District 16, the address is 381 Powder Springs Street. After the Civil War more than 3,000 Confederate soldiers who died elsewhere were recovered and reburied there.

In the next instalment, we will go a few miles to another place of historic violence.
