The Cemetery reported on by Thea is located in Forest Hill Cemetery, at the corner of Regent and Speedway Drive, not at Camp Randall (which is on the University Campus near the football Stadium). The Cemetery is perhaps a mile west of Camp Randall, down Regent Street.
The names of the soldiers buried there and their units is given on that site. (The seem to have been mainly from Alabama.) The photograph of the cemetery one finds here is evidently an old one. The plot is now swallowed up in a very large urban cemetery. But it is not hard to find.
I recommend reading the page on the transplanted southern lady who took care of the graves of these soldiers, Alice Waterman.
