Taken while walking along the (maybe) edge of Soldiers Ground, the Civil War military cemetery. A typical military site has a wall, or fence, surrounding the property. Something is there designating the land as a military graveyard.

Soldiers Ground has none of that. The property is inside the gates and walls of old Magnolia Cemetery, which was there first as part of the Umbra Plantation. The borders are an old asphalt road, the Umbra Plantation house, and the Charleston Catholic St. Lawrence cemetery. This part of the Charleston Peninsular was originally set aside for cemeteries years ago when the churchyards became filled.

By the asphalt there is a plaque in the ground with the name and small description, this was placed here years after the Civil War was over.

Below is a monument, with the old South Carolina state symbol of the Palmetto and a small half moon behind. This is along the edge of the Umbra Plantation house.
