is nothing removed, but everything lies
undisturbed just as it falls. Some of our
old wells are still plain to be seen, and
others have caved in. The old camp has
GROWN ND to rank weeds. and all around
the stream that ran through camp, trees
have grown up that are now twenty and

seventeen thousand eight hundred and
twenty graves here, and they are all neat
