In the 1860s a number of Raleigh, North Carolina women formed the Ladies' Memorial Association in effort to give Confederate soldiers a dignified burialin the historic Oakwood Cemetery. Their dedicated work and excellent record keeping allow us to go behind the scenes to take a look at the effort that went in to preserving a cemetery and the history of the state. Much work has taken place since those brave ladies faced off with Union soldiers in order to accomplish their goal. This is a look at how the project evolved over the years. Complete roster of soldiers included with map of gravesites. Excellent book for those tracing their ancestors.
