Gale F. red has compiled separate rosters for Confederates buried at the Alton Confederate Cemetery (Alton Prison), Camp Butler National Cemetery (Camp Butler Prison), Rock island National Cemetery (Rock Island Prison), Oak Woods Cemetery (Camp Douglas Prison) and Mounds City National Cemetery (Mounds City Cemetery.
These were all prisons for Confederates in the State of Illinois.
Most people in Illinois are unaware of the large number of Confederate buried in the state who died while prisoners of war. But most also know about the horrors of Andersonville.
