    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Atop a pile of rocks about a half mile north of the town of New Market Virginia sits a stone tablet on which a poem is inscribed. It reads: "This rustic pile, the simple tale will tell: It marks the spot, where Woodson's Heroes Fell'. This simple monument is dedicated to those of Captain Charles Hugh Woodson's first Missouri Cavalry who perished during the battle of New Market on May 15th, 1864. It marks the spot where Woodson's men lined up before their successful charge and was erected by the surviving members of the company in 1909.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Located in a quiet corner of a cemetery in the town of Mount Jackson Virginia, the "To All Confederates" monument was erected in 1903 by the Mount Jackson Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The cemetery was once the site of a Confederate hospital that provided vital care to the soldiers fighting in the Appalachian region of Virginia. The statue depicts a generic Confederate soldier in a moment of grief, looking down with his arms crossed. There are many other symbols featured on the monument including a flag surrounded by a laurel wreath as well as the Confederate battle flag in the middle of what appears to be an iron cross.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Kehinde Wiley's large bronze sculpture sits it stark defiance to the recently removed Confederate monuments that once lined Richmond Virginia's infamous Monument Avenue. Originally unveiled in Times Square, the sculpture depicts a African American man clad in a hoodie and jeans atop a magnificent stallion in the exact same pose of the recently removed J.E.B Stuart monument originally located only a mile away. The statue takes its name from Wiley's Rumors of War series of paintings which depict African Americans in the style of regal european portraiture. The original phrase of "rumors of war" comes from the bible verse Matthew 24:6.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A rather obscure monument to a forgotten Confederate officer, the Matthew Fontaine Maury Memorial is a small stone tablet with an embedded bronze plaque overlooking a section of the Maury River called Goshen Pass. Maury himself was supposedly a man of many talents: a renowned astronomer, oceanographer, meteorologist, cartographer, author, as well as educator. He served as naval officer for the United States before joining the Confederacy. The story goes that on his way back from the Virginia Military Institute to Richmond Virginia, he requested his carriage to stop at Goshen pass so he could pick some flowers, explaining memorial's presence at this obscure location. He is currently buried next to US presidents John Tyler and James Monroe in Richmond's Hollywood Cemetery. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Stonewall Jackson Death Site]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This is the location where the Confederate General “Stonewall” Jackson, having been accidentally injured by his own men, succumbed to pneumonia and died in 1863. At the time, it was an office building belonging to the Thomas Chandler Plantation. The site came under the ownership of the Potomac Railroad and was opened to the public in the 1920s as a “shrine” to Stonewall Jackson. It was sold to the National Park Service in 1937. All the other plantation buildings were dismantled but this one was preserved and restored by a group of women including the daughter of Thomas Chandler. The original clock, blanket, and bed on which he died in remain in place. Period-appropriate items have been placed in the rooms to evoke the time and place of his death. There are informational signs at the site describing the events that took place there. There is also a stone marker dedicated to Jackson outside the building, placed there in 1903 by a friend of Jackson. In 2019, the name of the site was changed from “Jackson Shrine” to “Stonewall Jackson Death Site.”]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Joseph Roswell Hawley Medallion    (Blue Hills, Connecticut)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[

Located under the Connecticut State Capitol's north portico, the Joseph Roswell Hawley Medallion honors Joseph Hawley, the first volunteer from Connecticut to enlist in the Union Army. After the war, Hawley was elected Governor of Connecticut and later represented the state in both the House of Representatives and Senate. Following his death in 1905, the Connecticut legislature commissioned a memorial to Hawley on Capitol grounds, allocating 1,500 dollars for the monument. The bronze medallion was designed by Herbert Adams, who depicts Hawley in profile and military dress. The monument was dedicated in 1914 in a ceremony attended by 125 soldiers who served under Hawley during the Civil War. The medallion faces a similarly rendered memorial to politician Orville Platt that was dedicated on the same day as the Hawley memorial.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Kensington Soldier's Monument honors the individuals from Kensington, Connecticut, who died during the Civil War. Dedicated in the midst of war in 1863, the monument stands as the state's first Civil War monument. The monument is located outside of the Kensington Congregational Church and was designed by parish member Nelson Augustus Moore. Both parish and community members raised the funds for the obelisk's conception. A Civil War cannon was placed near the monument to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 1913. In 2013, the monument was recognized as the oldest permanent Civil War Monument in the US by the National Register of Historic Places. However, this attribution has since been removed and granted to The Hazen Brigade Monument in Tennessee. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["Also known as the Dictator, the Petersburg Express mortar monument honours the First Connecticut Heavy Artillery Unit members. The unit used the mortar during the Siege of Petersburg from 1864-65. Weighing in at 7.7 tons, the mortar had to be mounted on a railway car to be used by soldiers. In 1896, the Petersburg Express was brought from Fort Monroe, Virginia, where it was left after the war, to Connecticut to be mounted on a granite pedestal 	subsequently. In 1958 the mortar's authenticity as the Petersburg Express was called into question by a newspaper in Oneonta, New York, claiming to have the real Petersburg 	Express within the city. Still today, some historians question the mortar's authenticity as the mortar used at the Siege of Petersburg.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Banning and Rowe Monument in East Hartland Cemetery memorializes John F. Banning 
and Rodolphus D. Rowe, brother-in-laws from Hartland who enlisted in the 16th 
Connecticut Infantry. In Plymouth, South Carolina, both men were taken as POWs to Andersonville and died in 1864. While neither Banning nor Rowe are buried in Hartland, the obelisk is a reminder of their service and ties to the town. The obelisk's Banning side includes a shield and crossed bayonets carving, while Rowe's side features an eagle. Much is unknown about the statue's conception and the creator; however, Emily Lucretia Banning Rowe, Rowe's widow and Banning's sister, may have played a role in erecting the monument due to her relation to both men and the last line of Rowe's inscription characterizing him as a "beloved husband."

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Forlorn Soldier is a deteriorated Union soldier statue with his rifle, hands, and lower face missing. The statue was completed by James G. Batterson's stone yard and monument business. Batterson is also known for co-designing the Connecticut State Capitol and establishing Travelers Insurance. When Batterson sold the stone yard to the Kelly Brothers in 1895, the soldier was left behind and placed at Charter Oak Avenue. In 1968, the statue was moved to Airport Road in Hartford before reaching its current location at the Connecticut State Capitol in 2013. The monument's restoration and relocation to the Capitol were funded by the Kelly family and Travelers Foundation. The statue's original purpose remains a mystery, but it is rumored that the statue was rejected as a monument because of the feet positioning.]]></dcterms:description>
