Statue - standing soldier

"Lieut. Frank Baldwin Killed in battle at Stone River December 31st, 1862. Aged 18 yrs. Erected by Silas Baldwin in honor of the heroes who fought and the martyrs who fell in the War of 1861-1865 Let us have peace. Soldiers of the United States. Your marches, sieges and battles in distance, duration, resolution and brilliancy of results, dim the lustre of the world’s past military achievements. Ulysses S. Grant We are many states but one people. Having one government, one flag, and one common destiny. Oliver P. Morton The American citizen soldier, brave in war eminent as a statesman, admirable as a citizen. John A. Logan With malice toward none, with charity for all, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan. Abraham Lincoln God reigns and the government of Washington still lives. James A. Garfield"
