Although it is estimated that over 14,000 prisoners died at Pt. Lookout, at present only a mere 3,384 are accounted for as buried in the Point Lookout cemetery. Their graves have been moved twice since the original burial. They now rest in a mass grave under an 85' towering obelisk monument erected by the federal government. This was the first monument to Confederate soldiers! Huge bronze tablets circling this monument depict names of those so far recorded.

This website also has the buried prisoners' names which "appear as they are listed on the Pt. Lookout Cemetery Monument" according to the page at http://www.plpow.com/POWDead.htm
