    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Chicago Board of Trade Battery Monument   (Edgewater, Illinois)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Tucked away amidst the gravestones in the Rosehill Cemetery, you will find the Chicago Board of Trade Battery Monument. This simple block of stone honors the sacrifice of soldiers recruited from the Chicago Board of Trade, the oldest commodity exchange organization in the United States. The battery is noted for its quick assembly, and it is estimated that the group had organized within forty-eight hours. To honor the battery's fallen soldiers, the Board raised $10,000 by subscription and began plans as early as 1869. Despite this, the monument did not materialize until 1901. The moment's inscription details the battery's active service from 1862-1865 in which they marched a total of 5268 miles.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A bronze soldier, with musket drawn and pointed forward, stands atop a granite plinth. On the base, two bronze relief panels depict a lone woman, one holding the shield of Virginia, the other a Confederate flag. The statue, designed by Frederick W. Sievers, was dedicated on 3 June 1908 in the presence of a large crowd of approximately 5,000. It was gifted by the William E. Jones Camp of Confederate Veterans of Abingdon to the Daughters of the Confederacy, who took on the responsibility of maintaining the statue. In Summer 2020, a petition to remove the monument was started, but as of October 2021 the monument remains outside the courthouse. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This plaque is one of the memorial plaques on the walls of the historic Aquia Episcopal Church in Stafford, VA. It was placed by the Stafford Rangers chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1933 to memorialize the Confederate soldiers of Stafford. It is simultaneously dedicated to Eva E. Bell, the founder of that chapter of the UDC. This plaque is accompanied by another plaque dedicated to the soldiers from Stafford who died in the world wars, which was also placed by the UDC around the same time, as well as a memorial gate in front of the church dedicated to all Stafford soldiers. Both Union and Confederate soldiers camped outside of Aquia church at different times in the 1860s, and both sides left still-visible graffiti on the church. Unknown Union soldiers were buried there during the war and later moved. The plaque depicts twin furled confederate flags over the inscription.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Benjamin Fitch commissioned Larkin Meade Jr. to replicate a classical sculpture seen by Fitch in Italy to honour Connecticut Veterans and their families. The statue features an orphan sitting on the knee of a Union soldier describing her father's death in battle, a fitting narrative as the statue stood on the grounds of Fitch's Home for Soldiers and Orphans in Darien, Connecticut. Following the home's closure in 1940, the Returned Soldier was relocated to the state's first cemetery for veterans, Spring Grove Cemetery. After the monument's restoration in 1985, it was again relocated to the Veterans Home and Hospital in Rocky Hill, where it stands today. A replica of the monument can also be found in the Chrysler Museum of Art in Virginia. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Funded by Charles E. Chaffee, the Windsor Locks Memorial Hall was erected as the gathering place for the Grand Army of the Republic's Post No.67, an organization for Union veterans. The group's official name was the JH Converse Post, dedicated to fallen soldier Joseph H. Converse. When local deacon Jabez H. Hayden sold the land to the GAR, he included a clause stating the land must be used as a soldier's memorial forever or turned over to the town's orthodox congregational church. This clause has facilitated the continued preservation and use of the building as a meeting hall for veterans today. On the last Sunday of each month, guided tours are offered to allow exploration of the building and its history.]]></dcterms:description>

    <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>

    <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["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.

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[

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.
