    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Cast in white bronze, a lone soldier stands in parade rest atop a plinth which is decorated with a bas-relief of Robert E. Lee. The monument, now located outside Carroll County Courthouse, was erected in 1907. It was originally situated in the middle of Main Street but was relocated to its current location in 1930 due to the widening of Main Street. Having deteriorated over the years, the monument was restored with funds from the Sons of Confederate Veterans Jubal Early Camp #1691. It was re-erected on February 28, 2007 and rededicated on April 28, 2007. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The place where the Jefferson Cemetery Shaft stands today began as a temporary repository for the bodies of dead Confederate soldiers during the war. The site was formally given commemoration in 1892 by the Brown-Harman Camp of Confederate Veterans. Later at an unknown date, the site was given to the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and it is this organization that remains associated with the monument. It is unknown as to when the shaft monument was formally erected as well as the cost, artist, and creator. The site has no official boundaries as it remains unknown the total number of Confederate soldiers buried at the location. Today, the Jeffersonville community describes the site as the County's most sacred shrine and monument. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Erected on November 10th, 1998, the Cranes Nest Battlefield Tablet sits quietly on a mountainside backroad in Dickenson County, Virginia. The monument, composed of a granite tablet set upon a granite base, is dedicated to the Confederate soldiers who fought in service of their state in the battle of Cranes Nest. Privately funded by a local businessman and Sons of Confederate Veterans member, David Vanover, no information has been publicly released regarding the cost, artist, or creators of the monument. The Battle of Cranes Nest has been recognised by some as a fight of "brother against brother" since soldiers from both sides hailed from local towns. The location is regarded as a site of victory for the Confederates where they effectively defeated the Union army, killing 8 Virginian Union sympathizers. There is no evidence to suggest that memorial ceremonies or rituals still occur at the monument site]]></dcterms:description>

Located at the entrance to the General Army of the Republic (G.A.R) Woods, the plaque sits before an American flag and adjacent to a descriptive sign. The monument was dedicated and funded by the Past President's Club of the Daughters of the Union Veterans of the Civil War in 1930. At the bottom of this metal plaque, the inscription reads: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend."- St. John XV:XII.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Dedicated in 1919, this statue honors Civil War general and former governor Richard Oglesby. Located in Lincoln (Abraham) Park, the ten-foot monument consists of a bronze statue on a granite pedestal. Despite serving in the 8th Illinois Infantry Regiment and being appointed Major General by President Lincoln, artist Leonard Crunelle chose to portray Oglesby in a humanist manner. The decision to honor his political achievements over his military service may stem from the statue's funders, John Barton Payne, J.S. Runnels, John W. Bunn, L.C. LaForce, and Martin B. Bailey, who were five prominent Chicagoans and politicians. Following a wave of graffiti and monument defacement in the 1990s, the monument became a focal point for debates about monument preservation and appreciation.  ]]></dcterms:description>
