Civil War Veterans

The new TV show on NBC, Who Do You Think You Are, featured Matthew Broderick who found out that one of his ancestors was a Civil War Veteran who survived Gettysburg, but who did die in a later battle in Georgia. It is a very interesting show and well worth watching. There are quite a few Civil War Veteran's graves at Multnomah Park from all parts of the Union. Here are a few of them. You can discover them scattered throughout the cemetery.
