Mass Grave Mystery

Ed Miles Interview about a mass grave in his old back yard:

 

Ed Miles interview in 1997 about a mass grave in West Nashville: He grew up on this property and describes a burial site they discovered when his father sold off some of their adjacent land, and it was being developed. A bulldozer operator unearthed a human scull while cutting the road, which is now called Alfred Drive. Evidence strongly suggest they are Civil War soldiers.

I’m sad to hear that Ed has passed away. I’m glad I filmed this, because nobody would believe it. Many still don’t. His impressive obituary adds even more credibility to the story. This site was categorized as a Native American burial site. Evidence here, suggests otherwise.

UPDATE: 2019 

A Green Beret friend of mine suggested the straw and hay was used for insolation in their jackets.
