    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Haverhill resident and local milliner Nancy Buswell is said to have created this silk flag in the space of just 56 hours in April 1861 before the Hale Guards, in which her brother E. 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[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>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Located on Flag Staff Hill in the city's Common and reaching over 125 feet in height, Boston's Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument is one of Massachusetts' most striking Civil War memorials. The monument features a statue embodying "America', flanked by a quartet of marble eagles, atop a 75 foot Roman column; a further four statues, representing the points of the reunited nation, are included at the column's base. Projecting the plinth are another set of allegorical figures, representing Peace, the Sailor, the Muse of History, and the Citizen-Soldier, which had, until 2014, been stored away from public display. The memorial's plinth includes a bas-relief tablet of bronze on each of its four sides, depicting an array of Civil War scenes featuring notable Bay Staters. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument was dedicated on September 17, 1877, over a decade after artist Martin Milmore's submitted design.]]></dcterms:description>
