Oakland Cemetery
This historical park is the final resting place for many Civil War soldiers, golfing legend Bobby Jones, and "Gone With the Wind" author Margaret Mitchell. In 2003, the cemetery began a 5-year, $15 million restoration project.
Among the famous Confederates buried here:
Alexander Hamilton "Little Aleck" Stephens, who served as
vice-president of the Confederacy (he was later disinterred and reinterred
at his home in Crawfordville, GA)
General Clement Anselm Evans, a Methodist minister who wrote "Confederate
Military History"
General Alfred Iverson
Senator Benjamin Harvey "Ben" Hill
Anthony Murphy and William Fuller
Murphy and Fuller were W&ARR employees who pursued Yankee spies after
they stole "lThe
General" from the depot at Big Shanty in what
became known as "The Great Locomotive Chase".
