Unknown Confederate Soldiers

 

At the posted coordinates is a group of white marble grave markers, lined up in two neat rows.

Each marks the grave of an Unknown Confederate Soldier.

Local historians have suggested that these were wounded soldiers from the Battle of Shiloh

that were treated at the two Civil War hospitals in Tuscaloosa;

one at the Indian Queen Hotel, the other at the not quite complete Alabama Insane Hospital.

 

To locate the final, solve:

33 11.7AB 

87 34.2CD 

A = Divide the total number of grave markers for Unknown Confederate Soldiers by 4.

B = Divide the total number of grave markers for Unknown Confederate Soldiers by 3.

C = Divide the total number of grave markers for Unknown Confederate Soldiers by 12.

D = Count the number of markers in the western row and subtract 3 from the solution.
