* Note from author on cover:  "The lone grave" is situated on the Western and Atlantic R.R. between Chattanooga, Tenn. and Atlanta, Ga.  A plain board marked the resting place of a solder.  Name "unknown."  None could tell whether he had been a Federal or Confederate.  The section hands, when laying the track discovered the grave, sodded it over beautifully and placed a head-stone over it bearing the above inscription.  The traveler's attention is always called to this spot and the train "slows up" in order to give all an opportunity to see it.  Let this be an olive branch to the north and south to be again a united people.
