    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This stone marker commemorates the place of death of Private Thornsbury Bailey Brown. On May 22, 1861, upon his return to Grafton from a rally in Pruntytown, West Virginia, Private Brown was killed at the Fetterman Bridge by members of a Confederate militia that would later become a company of the 25th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Based on this account, Thornsbury Bailey Brown is widely considered to be the first Union soldier to be killed by a Confederate soldier during the American Civil War. Brown’s grave can be found in the Grafton National Cemetery, where a 12-foot obelisk was erected in his memory. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Battle of Corrick's Ford Monument (Parsons, West Virginia)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This monument was erected and unveiled in 1938 in front of the Tucker County courthouse in commemoration of the Battle of Corrick’s Ford, which took place on July 13, 1861. Following their defeat at the Battle of Rich Mountain (Randolph County, West V.A.), 4,000 Confederate troops retreated into Tucker County and were attacked by 6,000 Union troops on Cheat River, near the town of Parsons where the courthouse is located. This was the last of a series of engagements between the troops of Union Brigadier General Thomas A. Morris and Confederate Brigadier General Robert S. Garnett, whose names are inscribed on the plaque. The monument commemorates both Union and Confederate soldiers who fought at Corrick's Ford. 
On the upper panel of the monument, above the plaque, is an alloy bas-relief of two crossed sabers (edge down), which could be in reference to the standard symbol for U.S. Cavalry during the Civil War that was worn on the front of the dress, forage cap or kepi. Since this official insignia was sported by cavalrymen with the edges of its sabers up, the artist could have chosen to point the blades downwards as a symbol of mourning. This is not the only existing Civil War monument with ‘reversed’ official symbols for different branches of service (i.e. crossed muskets with muzzles down for infantry or crossed cannons with barrels down for artillery). ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Abraham Lincoln Walks At Midnight (Charleston, West Virginia)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This monument is located in front of the West Virginia State Capitol, and consists of a 5.75-foot granite pedestal upon which stands an 8-foot tall bronze statue of President Abraham Lincoln. The statue was originally designed by artist Fred M. Torrey in 1935 and depicts a walking Lincoln, without his iconic top hat, wearing a floor-length robe or cloak, with his right hand placed on his chest, over his heart. The inscription on the east side of the pedestal references the 1914 poem by American poet Vachel Lindsay, which portrays President Abraham Lincoln’s restless spirit roaming the streets of Springfield, Illinois at night, eternally haunted by the atrocities of the Civil War. 
The monument celebrates President Abraham Lincoln as the ‘creator’ of the state of West Virginia. On April 20, 1863, Lincoln issued a proclamation that would admit the state at the end of a 60-day period, with statehood conditioned on its approval of the Willey Amendment (which would resolve the issue of slavery in West Virginia). West Virginia was admitted into the Union on June 20, 1863.
Charleston resident Louise Bing solicited Fred M. Torrey to purchase the sculpture of Lincoln in honour of West Virginia’s centennial celebration. Torrey initially offered a 42-inch bronze model of the sculpture for $5,000, before Bing raised a total $35,000 to have the sculpture enlarged to its current dimensions. However, Torrey passed away before being able to complete the project. An artist by the name of Bernard Wiepper was then commissioned to create an 8-foot tall model of Torrey’s original 42-inch sculpture, which was dedicated on the state of West Virginia’s 111th anniversary of independence.]]></dcterms:description>
