Oakland Cemetery

The Story

Atlanta Magazine reports Oakland Cemetery’s military roll-call tradition: visitors on quiet days hear a bugle and an unseen man calling soldiers’ names. In some tellings, faint voices answer that they are present. The account places the continuing muster among the Confederate graves rather than attributing it to one named soldier.
