 In
July 1862, Congress passed legislation giving the President of the United
States the authority to purchase land for the establishment of cemeteries
"for the soldiers who shall die in the service of their country."
This legislation effectively began the National Cemetery system.

Union graves. In 1933 responsibility of the cemetery was transferred from
the War Department to the National Park Service.
