After the Battle of the Wilderness in May 1864, the dead were buried in mass graves due to the chaotic and brutal nature of the battle. Soldiers from both sides, overwhelmed by the scale of casualties, often interred the bodies hastily, sometimes under makeshift markers. The difficult terrain, combined with ongoing fighting, complicated the burial process, leading to many bodies remaining unburied for extended periods. Efforts to identify and honor the fallen were made later, but the immediate aftermath saw a grim and rushed approach to burial.
