    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Lee Elementary School   (East Wenatchee Bench, Washington)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Robert E. Lee Elementary School in East Wenatchee, Washington, was so named because, as the district already had a Ulysses S. Grant Elementary School, the school board felt it was only fair to acknowledge those who had migrated from the South, and in remembrance of the Missouri Compromise.  When it came time to erect a new school in 1955, the name Robert E. Lee was put forward.  In the wake of the Charleston shooting in June of 2015, some community members began to call for the school to be renamed.  Initially, the board decided to keep the name, believing it was a valuable history lesson.  However by August, the issue had risen again.  A contentious debate followed, with many arguing that the school's name made racism permissible within the community, while others countered that there were more concrete and direct ways of combatting racism that should be tackled instead.  Ultimately, it was unanimously voted that the school's name would be changed simply to "Lee Elementary," and while many in the community still pushed for the name to be scrapped altogether, it has remained Lee Elementary to this day.  The school still stands as it was originally constructed in 1955, a single story brick building with low eaves and blue exposed beam roof. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Jefferson Davis Highway Marker   (Vancouver, Washington)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In 1913, the Daughters of the Confederacy began a campaign to dedicate a route across the southern United States as the "Jefferson Davis Highway," a stretch later to include U.S. Route 99.  In 1940, with unofficial state approval, the Daughters of the Confederacy erected stone markers at each end of the Washington State portion of U.S. Route 99, designating it the Jefferson Davis Highway.  The stones are identical simple rectangular granite prisms, with an engraved dedication on the front.  The city of Vancouver removed their marker stone from public land in 1998 and placed it in a cemetery shed.  In 2002, the monument was moved to become part of an installation at the Clark County Historical Museum.  In 2007, the stone was again moved to the newly instated Washington Davis Park, where it remains to this day.  The Blaine, Washington stone also resides in the Jefferson Davis Park, after its removal in 2002 by state officials upon realizing the designation was never official.  In March of 2016, the Washington State Legislature renamed U.S. Route 99 the "William P. Stewart Memorial Highway," in honor of an Black volunteer during the civil war.  ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Middlebury to Her Soldiers]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Situated in the triangle formed by Merchant’s Row on north and south, and South Peasant Street on the east, stands this beautiful memorial of Vermont granite as a reminder that Middlebury remembers her defenders. The monument is 32 feet and 1 inch in height and is composed of 49 sections of Jones Brothers company’s best quality, light, fine grained, medium Barre granite. The entire outside surface of the memorial is hammered, ten cut finish. The lower base, which sets upon a foundation of cement, is 17 feet six inches square, with an eight-inch rise, composed of 12 sections; the central base, 14 feet six inches square with an eight inch rise, comprises 12 sections, and the top base, 11 feet six inches square, with the same rise as the other bases, is composed of six sections. These three bases, of course, are surmounted by the pedestal, consisting of three pieces, die (?) cap and plinth. Located at each of the four corners of the central die is a life size statue in granite, each symbolical of an arm of the service. Facing Merchant’s Row are the artilleryman and cavalryman and, facing in an opposite direction, stands the marine and infantryman, while surmounting the whole is the color bearer with the colors at rest. (The Burlington Weekly Free Press: Thursday, June 1, 1905).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The city of Leesburg was established on June 16th, 1866 after gold was discovered at the Leesburg Mine.  As most settlers were Southerners, the settlement was named after Confederate war hero general Robert E. Lee.  Today, Leesburg remains an unincorporated community, and little remains of its origins.  However, the site has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975.]]></dcterms:description>
