Carson City’s Lone Mountain Cemetery is the final resting place for Nevada’s military who have fought wars since the Civil War. The weathered iron stars are engraved with “Veteran 61-65” (1861-1865) denoting those who served during the Civil War. Many of these tombstones read simply “U.S. Soldier.” (Photo: Ronni Hannaman)
