    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Banning and Rowe Monument    (Granville, Connecticut)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Banning and Rowe Monument in East Hartland Cemetery memorializes John F. Banning 
and Rodolphus D. Rowe, brother-in-laws from Hartland who enlisted in the 16th 
Connecticut Infantry. In Plymouth, South Carolina, both men were taken as POWs to Andersonville and died in 1864. While neither Banning nor Rowe are buried in Hartland, the obelisk is a reminder of their service and ties to the town. The obelisk's Banning side includes a shield and crossed bayonets carving, while Rowe's side features an eagle. Much is unknown about the statue's conception and the creator; however, Emily Lucretia Banning Rowe, Rowe's widow and Banning's sister, may have played a role in erecting the monument due to her relation to both men and the last line of Rowe's inscription characterizing him as a "beloved husband."

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA["Also known as the Dictator, the Petersburg Express mortar monument honours the First Connecticut Heavy Artillery Unit members. The unit used the mortar during the Siege of Petersburg from 1864-65. Weighing in at 7.7 tons, the mortar had to be mounted on a railway car to be used by soldiers. In 1896, the Petersburg Express was brought from Fort Monroe, Virginia, where it was left after the war, to Connecticut to be mounted on a granite pedestal 	subsequently. In 1958 the mortar's authenticity as the Petersburg Express was called into question by a newspaper in Oneonta, New York, claiming to have the real Petersburg 	Express within the city. Still today, some historians question the mortar's authenticity as the mortar used at the Siege of Petersburg.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[

Located under the Connecticut State Capitol's north portico, the Joseph Roswell Hawley Medallion honors Joseph Hawley, the first volunteer from Connecticut to enlist in the Union Army. After the war, Hawley was elected Governor of Connecticut and later represented the state in both the House of Representatives and Senate. Following his death in 1905, the Connecticut legislature commissioned a memorial to Hawley on Capitol grounds, allocating 1,500 dollars for the monument. The bronze medallion was designed by Herbert Adams, who depicts Hawley in profile and military dress. The monument was dedicated in 1914 in a ceremony attended by 125 soldiers who served under Hawley during the Civil War. The medallion faces a similarly rendered memorial to politician Orville Platt that was dedicated on the same day as the Hawley memorial.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Stonewall Jackson Death Site]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This is the location where the Confederate General “Stonewall” Jackson, having been accidentally injured by his own men, succumbed to pneumonia and died in 1863. At the time, it was an office building belonging to the Thomas Chandler Plantation. The site came under the ownership of the Potomac Railroad and was opened to the public in the 1920s as a “shrine” to Stonewall Jackson. It was sold to the National Park Service in 1937. All the other plantation buildings were dismantled but this one was preserved and restored by a group of women including the daughter of Thomas Chandler. The original clock, blanket, and bed on which he died in remain in place. Period-appropriate items have been placed in the rooms to evoke the time and place of his death. There are informational signs at the site describing the events that took place there. There is also a stone marker dedicated to Jackson outside the building, placed there in 1903 by a friend of Jackson. In 2019, the name of the site was changed from “Jackson Shrine” to “Stonewall Jackson Death Site.”]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A rather obscure monument to a forgotten Confederate officer, the Matthew Fontaine Maury Memorial is a small stone tablet with an embedded bronze plaque overlooking a section of the Maury River called Goshen Pass. Maury himself was supposedly a man of many talents: a renowned astronomer, oceanographer, meteorologist, cartographer, author, as well as educator. He served as naval officer for the United States before joining the Confederacy. The story goes that on his way back from the Virginia Military Institute to Richmond Virginia, he requested his carriage to stop at Goshen pass so he could pick some flowers, explaining memorial's presence at this obscure location. He is currently buried next to US presidents John Tyler and James Monroe in Richmond's Hollywood Cemetery. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Located in a quiet corner of a cemetery in the town of Mount Jackson Virginia, the "To All Confederates" monument was erected in 1903 by the Mount Jackson Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The cemetery was once the site of a Confederate hospital that provided vital care to the soldiers fighting in the Appalachian region of Virginia. The statue depicts a generic Confederate soldier in a moment of grief, looking down with his arms crossed. There are many other symbols featured on the monument including a flag surrounded by a laurel wreath as well as the Confederate battle flag in the middle of what appears to be an iron cross.]]></dcterms:description>
