Oakland Cemetery is located in downtown Shreveport, and is located right next door to the
Municipal Auditorium.  Shreveport's oldest cemetery, and houses many people that were
important in the development of Shreveport.  The cemetery also has a large spot that appears
vacant, but looks can be deceiving.  This spot is called the "cotton patch," and is a mass grave
for yellow fever epidemic victims.  The cemetery opened in 1845 and is said to be the home
of at least 16 mayors.  Other well known people are Mr. Logan of the Logan Mansion, Mr.
Rendall of the
Rendall Building, and Shreveport madam Annie McCune.
