    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Recently restored by the Royalston Arts Foundry, this Soldiers' Monument is based on Theo Alice Ruggles Kitson's sculpture in Newburyport. The sculpture stands atop a square granite base, which rests on two steps and features a soldier marching with his rifle on his right shoulder and left hand in his pocket. The soldier appears youthful and lifelike due to his relaxed posture, a characteristic of Kitson's realist style. It stands directly opposite the Baptist Church. Instead of the names of those who served in the war, the plaques feature patriotic dictums written by Reverend George Osgood, who was a pastor at the Episcopal Church in North Attleborough.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Battery Hawley is one of three batteries in Fort Baldwin in Phippsburg, Maine. It is a 6-inch coastal gun battery whose construction started in 1905 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers and was finished in 1908. The battery was dedicated to Brevet Major General Joeph Roswell Hawley on the 25th of January 1906, almost a year after his death. Hawley fought with distinction throughout the Civil War, having participated in the First Battle of Bull Run, the Port Royal Expedition, the siege of Charleston, the Battle of Olustee, the siege of Petersburg, and the attack on Fort Fisher. The battery was deactivated in 1924 and today it accepts visitors as a military, historical site with no weapons on site.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Overlooking the Machias River in Washington, Maine, the Fort O'Brien cannon, also known as "Napoleon', was created by the Ames Manufacturing Company of Chicopee, Massachusetts in 1862 and was placed in Fort O'Brien in 1863. During the Civil War, a five-gun battery was installed in Fort O'Brien, even though the fort saw no action. The cannon is made of bronze, weighs 1216 pounds and is capable of firing 12-pound cannonballs which in optimal conditions could reach 1600 yards. Today, this cannon is the only military object left on site.]]></dcterms:description>
