Geocache Description:

The final resting places for American Civil War Generals can be found worldwide. My find is Brigadier General Victor Jean Baptiste Girardey who was killed in action in 1864 during the Petersburg Campaign. He was a General but all of 2 weeks. Girardey is buried in Magnolia Cemetery in Augusta, Georgia. N 33°27.89 W 81°57.342


Find the final resting place of a General of the American Civil War (1861-1865). The Union officially had 583 compared to the Confederates 425. They can be found worldwide literally. To properly log your find: coordinates must be provided : your find should have been a General between the Civil War years of 1861-1865 : a photograph of the General's grave marker and your gps must be taken. Union Brevet Generals will be accepted. No memorial markers; therefore, photographs must be of the final resting place of that particular General. However, a few Generals have only cenotaphs; these will be accepted. If you're not sure, log your find anyway and I will let you know. If not his grave, it will be deleted with no hard feelings (I hope). Please provide the name of the cemetery. The familar locationless rules apply; One log per person and a General can be logged only once.
