    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Confederate Mound at Oak Woods Cemetery   (Woodlawn, Illinois)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Located in Chicago's Oak Woods Cemetery, the Confederate Mound is situated on a former mass grave for Confederate prisoners of war, who died at Camp Douglas (1862-65). In 1887, the Ex-Confederate Association of Chicago received permission by the government to erect a memorial in the government lot of the cemetery. The mound is elliptically shaped and at its center a granite obelisk towers above the cemetery. At its base are three bass-reliefs depicting scenes of war, including: "The Call to Arms", "A Soldier's Death Dream", and "A Veteran's Return Home." Set atop the large shaft is a bronze sculpture of an unarmed confederate soldier, its image is based on the painting "Appomattox" by John A. Elder. The memorial was funded by the Chicago United Confederate Camp No. 8, and their commander, General John C. Underwood, provided the design. The monument was dedicated on May 30th, 1895. The commemorative space also includes four bronze plaques inscribed with the names of the dead (funded by the Commission for Marking the Graves of Confederate Dead in 1911); four artillery pieces; the graves of unknown Union guards from Camp Douglas; and trees, planted in 1953 by Louisiana and Mississippi Governors.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Orion Perseus Howe was a Union drummer boy in Company C, of the 55th Illinois Infantry. On 19th May 1863 at the battle of Vicksburg he was present on the field and was ordered by Colonel Malmborg to go to General Sherman and request the supply of cartradiges for Malmborg's men. He was 14 years old at the time. Wounded, and facing severe gunfire, Howe is said to have courageously made his way to Sherman and "called as loud as he could calibre 54'. He is said to have only permitted medical attention to his wound after Sherman promised to get the ammunition to his regiment. Howe graduated from Annapolis in 1870, and received a congressional medal of honour on April 23rd 1896. He is, to this date, the youngest recipient of the award. The statue is located at the Veterans Memorial Plaza in Washington Park and was unveiled in 2006 by the Waukegan Park District. A historical marker is also present.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Monument to 15th New Jersey Infantry Regiment   (Southern Gateway, Virginia)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This tall, stone monument located near the historic Salem Church is dedicated to the 15th New Jersey Infantry regiment. It marks the site of a bloody battle between them and the Confederate 14th Georgia regiment in which around 116 men were killed before the Union side emerged victorious. The monument is a pillar on a rectangular base topped with a statue of an infantryman shielding his eyes. It is similar in appearance to the nearby monument to the 23rd New Jersey regiment. The monument was re-dedicated by the New Jersey Centennial Commission in 1964, which was founded in the 1950s to foster national unity in the face of the Civil Rights movement and the Cold War.
