    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Built on a rubble foundation with wooden walls, the Mansfield Memorial Library is a Victorian Gothic style building in Bristol County, MA. The land for the building was donated by Elizabeth F. Noble in 1898 and construction began in 1899. The building was conceived to serve a dual-function as both a public library and memorial to Civil War soldiers. The idea for constructing this building originated with Henry H. Fairbanks, the Quartermaster of the John Rogers Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. Representatives of the G.A.R. were present on the day of dedication and took part in a memorial procession to the site of the building, along with mounted police. The building currently serves to hold the offices of the Mansfield School Department. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This fifteen-foot high marble obelisk with a four-foot square granite base, surmounted with a sculpture of an eagle, is Presque Isle's Civil War Monument and was formerly known as the "Soldier's Monument". It is located in Fairmount Cemetery and it memorialises soldiers who served and died during the American Civil War, 1861 - 1865. This monument was built by S.P. Bradbury of Bangor, and it bears thirty-eight names of soldiers from the town. The monument was erected in 1873 by the town of Presque Isle and was funded by collections from local women. The monument was dedicated on July 4, 1874.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Volunteer is a copy of Kitson's sculpture in Newport, but unlike the original, this figure has a mustache and looks slightly older. It is possible that the committee wanted their statue to be unique, whilst basing a design on an existing monument would have been more cost-effective. It was a gift from George Washington Gay and his wife Eunice Lyon Gay. George H. Gay, was mortally wounded at the Battle of Dallas in Georgia on May 25, having enlisted with the 33rd Massachusetts Infantry when he was 18 and a student. The monument is dedicated to George H. Day and all of Sharon's "sons who fell in the Great Civil War 1861-1865'. The left panel of the Sharon Soldier's monument bears a plaque dedicated to of Deborah Sampson Gannett, the grandmother of G.W. Gay, who was also from Sharon and disguised herself as a man in order to serve in the Revolutionary War.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Wirz Monument was dedicated in 1909 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to commemorate, and exonerate, Captain Heinrich Hartmann Wirz who served as the commander of the Andersonville Civil War Prison between 1864-65. Wirz was hanged in Washington, DC in 1865 with a conviction of murder and conspiracy by a military tribunal. The monument is a thirty-five-foot-tall granite obelisk. Both the pedestal's base and the obelisk's base rest on layers of rough, unpolished granite. The pedestal's base is boldly inscribed with the word "WIRZ." The pedestal's four sides bear individual inscriptions. The monument is still standing and is the site of an annual memorial service for Henry Wirz each November hosted by the Alexander H. Stephens Camp 78, Sons of 
Confederate Veterans.
