ABOUT THE CEMETERY:

"The Camp Captain Mooney Cemetery was created on March 1, 1864 when Confederates killed in an attack on Camp Captain Mooney were buried where they fell. The camp was defended by 19 Confederates, and the attackers were 500 mounted members of the 40th Massachusetts who were returning to Jacksonville after the US defeat at Olustee.

The cemetery is now owned by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Within the cemetery is a hand-made monument marking the location of 5 graves of unknown Confederate soldiers, a monument erected in 2001 to commemorate the battle that occurred here, and a monument and flagpole marking a Confederate veterans plot."
