The Marietta Confederate Cemetery is one of the largest burial grounds for Confederate dead. It is the resting place to over 3000 soldiers from every Confederate state and Maryland, Missouri and Kentucky. The cemetery was established in 1863 as a gift from Jane Glover who was the wife of Marietta's first mayor.[2] It sits on the site of a former Baptist church that was later moved to a new location in downtown Marietta and the land was acquired by John Glover - Marietta's first mayor.[3] Soldiers killed in the battles of Chickamauga (in Tennessee and Georgia), Kolb's Farm and Kennesaw Mountain from the Atlanta Campaign are interred there. Notable monumentsA 6-pound field cannon originally presented to the Georgia Military Institute by the State of Georgia which was used in the war and captured by Union forces near Savannah. It was later retrieved from an arsenal in New York and contains the Latin inscription "Victrix Fortunae Sapientia" which translates to "wisdom, the Victor over Fortune". Each Confederate state and some others (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia) has a marble monument noting the section that its soldiers are buried in.[4] Inscriptions in the cemeteryInscriptions on a monument:

PreservationThe Ladies' Memorial Association owned the cemetery and the Kennesaw Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy helped with its maintenance for a long time. Currently, the Marietta Confederate Cemetery Foundation and Friends of Brown Park, Inc. is committed to the preservation of the cemetery.[6] See also
