A Death of Markers: Ambivalence of Memory in Elmira, New York, and Its National and Woodlawn Cemeteries.

Wright, Elizabethada A.
- Abstract
The article discusses the ambivalence of public memory and the Woodlawn National Cemetery in Elmira, New York. According to the article, the cemetery, despite housing the graves of Confederate soldiers, revealed the ambivalence of reconciliation between the North and South following the U.S. Civil War primarily because Elmira was the site of a Union prison for captured Confederate soldiers.
