Image

This is the only image of the site I could find on Commons. As the most (in)famous interment he probably deserves a mention. I visited last year and took some pictures of the lion sculpture and chapel, but apparently forgot to upload them and they’ve since misplaced. I will keep looking.

@Grey Wanderer: - Thanks for pointing out that image. I'll be adding it to the article, at least temporarily. Hog Farm _Bacon 18:25, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Two hypens vs endash in the monument inscription

@Srich32977: - I've manually changed back your change in the inscription of "IN MEMORIAM -- OUR CONFEDERATE DEAD" to one with an endash back to the two hypens version. The cited source uses two hyphens, so source-text integrity is probably a bigger priority than MOS:DASH here. Hog Farm _Talk 15:18, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: Well, per a photo of the actual monument we don't see any puncutation, so I've replaced the hyphens with non-breaking spaces. The editing question for the cited source was what to use to convey a new line in the monument inscription, vs conveying it in a sentence. I hope this works out as a small improvement in this excellent article. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 16:27, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
