    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Private David Gifford Memorial Statue   (Smith Mills, Massachusetts)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The memorial to Private David Lewis Gifford is a life-size statue of a local war hero and medal of honor recipient, best known for his daring rescue expedition to save troops on the stranded union steamer ship, USS Boston. The statue depicts Gifford crouched behind a boulder with a rifle in hand, in a pose meant to represent him fighting in open skirmish order. Located on the campus of Dartmouth Middle School, the statue is right at eye-level with the children who come into contact with it on a daily basis. The statue was created through a collaboration between the Dartmouth Veterans Memorial Park Committee and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Sculpture Program, designed by sculptor Johnathan Pellitteri. It was erected in 2004, and the middle school celebrated the statue's dedication with a living history encampment in which participants dressed in Civil War era costume.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sussex County Confederate Monument   (Fort Lee, Virginia)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[On the occasion of the Civil War semi-centennial, Sussex County sought a way of honoring their Confederate soldiers and the cause for which they fought. The Sussex Confederate Monument was erected by the Sussex United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1912 to serve this aim and faces south towards the county courthouse built in 1828. Created by McNeel Marble Works, the marble monument consists of a private soldier standing at parade rest surmounting a plinth, base, dado, and shaft. The statue's inscription states: "THE PRINCIPLES FOR WHICH THEY FOUGHT LIVE ETERNALLY" and details a list of companies organized from Sussex County. While there have been no documented efforts to remove or relocate the monument, four marble cannon balls originally at the corners of the base have been removed. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Franklin Memorial Park Common Soldier   (Winton, Virginia)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Marking the semi-centennial of the Civil War, the Franklin Memorial Park common soldier honors Franklin's Confederate dead. This marble monument features a private soldier standing at parade rest surmounting a granite plinth, base, dado, and shaft. As a plaque near the monument relays, the statue and the park were gifted to Franklin in 1946 by the children of Mr. and Mrs. James L. Camp. James L. Camp was the former chairman and president of the Camp Brothers' lumber mill, and later paper mill, the company which helped Franklin to prosper in the twentieth century. While originally erected in 1911, the statue has been moved several times. Its position in Franklin's Memorial Park was only really secured 35 years after its construction, and its presence there is still being challenged today. As of Summer 2021, the monument was removed and re-erected in the Poplar Springs Cemetery half a mile from the Memorial Park. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Built in 1874 by Cincinnati architect James W. McLaughlin, the Northampton Memorial Hall is the only example on Main Street of Post Civil War General Grant style architecture. The building not only serves as a memorial site, but also as a public library and archives center. The Hall was erected by the Young Men’s Institute and cost $77,249.79 raised through donations and public funds. In 1888 the entry of the Memorial Hall was adorned with a statue of a Union soldier and sailor collectively known as “Northampton Remembers.” Alongside them, tablets featuring the names of the 90 men from Northampton who fought for the Union and died during the war was added. ]]></dcterms:description>
