Interesting Burials at Baltimore's Green Mountain Cemetery

US Park Ranger John David Hoptak has a blog called the 48th Pennsylvania Infantry/Civil War Musings and recently took a trip to this cemetery and found many notable graves.

Among them, those of Confederate generals:

Joseph Eggleston Johnston
Isaac Ridgeway Trimble
George Hume "Maryland" Stewart
Arnold Elzey
Lewis Henry Little

Also in the cemetery, the grave of Samuel Arnold who did not participate in the conspiracy to kill Abraham Lincoln, but was in on the kidnapping plot. He was sentenced to life at Fort Jefferson in the Florida Keys along with Dr. Samuel Mudd and Edmond Spangler. Later, pardoned in 1869 and died in 1906. Someone has placed a Lincoln penny on his grave stone.
