The Battle of Marianna, Florida


St. Luke's Burial Ground

The last stand of the Marianna Home Guard took
place here in the cemetery behind St. Luke's.
Surrounded by Union soldiers, the local men and
boys held out until they ran low on ammunition. The
home guard members were fired on by Union
troops after they had surrendered. Captain George
Maynard of the 82nd U.S. Colored Infantry
received a Congressional Medal of Honor in part
for bringing the shooting to a close and saving the
lives of Confederate prisoners here. Florida's
Confederate Governor, John Milton, is buried here.
