This picture was taken by a flip phone 12 years ago at Oakland Cemetery, It is of a spirit of a union soldier walking what would be considered a perimeter patrol. He would have been 300 yards from the Union Encampment during the occupation of Little Rock. If you look closely, you can make out his kepi and his cavalry cape.

About
"Oakland & Fraternal Historic Cemetery Park was established in 1862 when the City of Little Rock (Pulaski County) purchased a 165-acre estate in order to accommodate the Civil War dead. Through the years, this 160-acre estate has been carved into six distinct cemeteries: Oakland, National, Confederate, a one-acre Confederate, Fraternal, B'Nai Isreal, and Agudath Achim. Today, 108 acres of the original 160 remain as burial grounds. The cemeteries have seen more than 62,000 burials since the first in 1863."
