E-mailed my daughter who lives in Alabama not far from there to see if she heard anything. Following is her reply: Haven't heard anything like that - I'm sure there would be a huge uproar if they tried. I can't imagine them getting away with something like that. Will let you know if I hear anything. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Goode" <banshe8@insightbb.com> To: <INPCRP-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 7:02 AM Subject: Re: [INPCRP] Civil War cemetery in Tenn. > There was a segment on CBS Sunday Morning this past Sunday about the book > "Widow of the South" which is about the lady who created a cemetery on her > property after the Civil War by reintering bodies of soldiers who were > buried on an adjacent property where the battle was fought.

Actually, most of the battlefields that have disappeared in the South have disappeared quietly. Often only CW buffs and small associations dedicated to the preservation of the battlefields seem to be aware. Developers and public officials who really don't care about our country's history generally get done what they want to.
