In the late summer of 1862, disease spread through a Confederate camp at Rondo, east of Texarkana.

Eighty-five men who died there are buried in a common grave. They are not named.

In the 1930s, a Texarkana women's group and Rep. Effiegene Wingo obtained 17 government headstones for the site, one for every five men.
