Description:
This granite monument consists of a base with an obelisk, standing 35 feet in total. The North and South sides of the base have inscriptions: one from the poem "Bivouac Of The Dead", while the other lists the regiments from Caldwell County. The monument was dedicated on 3 June 1910: the dedication ceremony began at 10am with a short parade that featured "grizzled heroes of the sixties" marching on foot and commanded by their own officers. Its opening was marked by the appearance of Judge Walter Clark, who at age 14 became the youngest Major in the Confederate Army.
