Batterson's study of Egyptology is noticeable in the design of the granite column, which is topped by a bronze Eagle defending its nest against the serpents of secession and copperheads. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Oak Bluffs' Soldiers' Memorial Fountain, though erected by Confederate veteran Charles Strahan, depicts a Union soldier and was dedicated to the Henry Clay Wade Post of the GAR in 1891. Strahan's hope that he might receive some similar dedication was realised in 1925 when an additional tablet was placed on the fountain in honour of the Civil War's Confederate soldiers. This tablet, thought to have been the first memorial to Confederate soldiers by those of the Union, was removed in May of 2019.]]></dcterms:description>

K. Davis was a soldier, left for war. The flag was present at the Battle of Bull Run in July 1861, but was soon thought to have been lost amidst the chaos of the Civil War. It was not until 1904 that the flag was recovered and returned to Major Howe Post 47, and is now exhibited at The Buttonwoods Museum in Haverhill.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Edgell Memorial Library   (Framingham Center, Massachusetts)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Located in Framingham's Centre Common, the Edgell Memorial Library was built in 1872 and dedicated on February 22, 1873. A distinctive structure with a purple and red slate roof, the Library stands as one of the few remaining Gothic buildings in the area. Opening as the town's first public library, it was dedicated to the 530 Framingham men who served in the Civil War; tablets inside list the names of 27 locals who were killed in action. When the town moved its library in 1963, the Edgell Memorial Library was saved from destruction by the Framingham Historical Society, and was converted into an exhibition and office space.

Within the library's permanent exhibition is a marble bust of General George H. Gordon, Framingham's highest ranking officer in the Civil War. The bust was designed by Daniel C. French, and was gifted to the library by members of the Second Massachusetts Infantry. The building also houses the restored colors of the 13th Massachusetts Infantry. In April 2011, restorative work on the Edgell Memorial Library was completed to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Located in Monument Square, Nantucket's Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument replaced the island's old "Liberty Pole' upon its 1874 erection; it was dedicated on May 29, 1875. The memorial is comprised of an obelisk, constructed by Quincy Marble Works and transported to Nantucket by schooner, atop a granite millstone from the local Old North Grist Mill. Owing to Nantucket's Quaker roots, the island had previously abstained from armed conflict, but sent a total of 339 soldiers, notably more than its quota, to fight for the Union cause. Upon the shaft of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument are inscribed the names of the 73 islanders who died in the Civil War.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Situated in front of Great Barrington's town hall, this Civil War memorial displays an 8-foot statue of the Goddess "Victory' atop a golden globe, holding both golden laurel wreath and olive branch, placed on a brownstone column. It was dedicated, in memory of the town's residents who fought for the Union cause, on 1 July, 1876. The monument's artist was noted sculptor Truman Howe Bartlett, and its design is said to have been inspired by a statue excavated from Pompeii with which Bartlett was familiar. Though there was, in 1912, a call by some locals to replace the representation of Victory with a more conventional Civil War figure, the monument was defended by local resident and Medal of Honor recipient Frederick N. Deland, and was ultimately preserved.]]></dcterms:description>
