Gil, You know about Oakwood in Raleigh. Some impressive markers there. Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond would have to be on the list as would Arlington, but those are the obvious ones. In St. Louis, the biggies are Calvary and Bellefontaine, which are next to each other, and Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. They've got some neat old markers there. Sherman and others are at Calvary. Bellefontaine boasts James B. Eads, who built bridges and ironclads. JB has some brevet generals and many others dating back to the post's founding. The oldest graves overlook the Mississippi River. I've gone exploring at JB while visiting my dad's grave. Battleline
