Congressional imprint “Officers and Soldiers Buried Near Atlanta.” 6pp. octavo, April 1866, which reads in part: “…We have already reports of internments of over 100,000 men, a large portion of whom it will probably be necessary to remove to cemeteries yet to be established…In looking over the whole field, and in consultation with and approval of Major General Thomas, I would respectfully suggest that four national cemeteries be established, and the titles thereto secured by the United States: one at Nashville, one at Stone River, (now being improved), one at Chattanooga, (already far advanced) and the fourth at Atlanta, Georgia; the dead at the intermediate points to be transferred to one of the nearest national cemeteries, thus concentrating all of the dead into these four localities…” Very Good condition.
