On Aug. 21, 1901, this 20 ft. monument with a 6 ft. statue depicting a typical Confederate soldier was dedicated to the Monroe County men who served the lost cause. Hinton Marble Works produced the Italian marble statue, standing on a granite pedestal placed on native blue limestone. The site was selected in anticipation of the Union's growth. A crowd of 10,000 at the dedication heard a speech by Gen. John Echols.
