Title
Lebanon Courthouse Common Soldier (Bristol, Virginia)
Description
Little is known about the marble standing soldier positioned at solider arms that looms in front of the courthouse in Lebanon, Virginia. Erected on July 8th, 1914, the monument was a result of townspeople from Lebanon and neighbouring cities who had begun to raise funds for a monument that commemorated the Confederate soldiers of Russell County in 1904. The artist, creator, and the cost of the monument remain unknown, but the community's aims for the monument can be construed from the inscription; it speaks of a desire for continuity across generations.
