Sunday, February 15 – "My heart yearns to have his remains": Dr. J.W.C. O'Neal and the Repatriation of the Confederate Dead at Gettysburg

Ranger Dan Welch, Gettysburg National Military Park

Although much is known about the creation of the National Cemetery and the reburial of the Union dead thereof, little has been written or remembered about the Confederate remains left behind on the battlefield. One of several important figures to this story, Dr. John W.C. O'Neal, worked diligently to record the locations of these dead and their identities. He further worked with families across vast distances and periods of time to locate their loved ones remains and have them shipped back to their hometown and family cemeteries. Learn more about Dr. O'Neal, his work with the Confederate dead, and the stories of closure he brought many southern families.
