    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Located in the Marshfield Hills Cemetery, this Soldiers' Monument is made entirely of Quincy granite and is comprised of a Union soldier at parade rest atop a trilogy of bases. Its primary inscription memorialises the 21 Marshfield men who died in the Civil War, among whom was Fletcher Webster, son of former Massachusetts senator Daniel Webster. Erected through appropriations by the town's residents, the monument was erected in 1889 but not dedicated until June 15, 1895.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sphinx   (Cambridge, Massachusetts)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Commissioned and conceptualised by Dr. Jacob Bigelow, the architect of Mount Auburn Cemetery in which it is placed, the Sphinx was made by Martin Milmore in collaboration with his brother, Joseph. Made of Hallowell granite and 15 feet in length, the Sphinx, as in Egyptian mythology, appears as a reclining lion with woman's head, but is here presented with the additional features of a U.S. military medallion and a bald eagle on the headdress, thus representing the future of shared African and American culture envisaged by Bigelow. It commemorates all those who fell in the Civil War, and is noticeable for the unusually emancipatory tone of its inscription, which reads: "American Union Preserved; African Slavery Destroyed; By the Uprising of a Great People; By the Blood of Fallen Heroes'. While no official dedication is recorded, the monument had been placed within the cemetery by September 1871; its enigmatic nature is captured in Charlotte Fiske Bates's 1879 poem 'The Sphinx at Mount Auburn'.]]></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>
