    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Framingham Civil War Memorial   (Framingham Center, Massachusetts)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Depicting a Union soldier at parade rest, this memorial statue was dedicated on February 22, 1873 and originally resided within the Edgell Memorial Library which it now guards. This move was reportedly caused by an inability of the library authorities to enforce the building's dress code: seeing the standing soldier in full uniform, patrons would often refuse to uncover their own hats. The memorial was largely funded by Framingham resident George Phipps, who provided the required $3,000 upon the request of local patriot George G. Brown. Mr Phipps is anecdotally said to have begrudgingly parted with the money, remarking "There's a check for your brazen image." The statue is taken from an original prototype by sculptor Martin Milmore for a monument in Charlestown in 1871. Framingham's version, in bronze, was cast by Ames Foundry in Chicopee.]]></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[Residing on an eminence in North Weymouth Cemetery, "one of the oldest cemeteries still in use in the United States', the Soldiers' Monument stands at 25 feet and was dedicated on July 4, 1868. An obelisk of Quincy granite, this monument is flanked by naval canons and was placed in honour of the 99 men from Weymouth who are known to have died during the Civil War. The name, company, regiment, age and cause of death of each of these soldiers is on the obelisk inscribed; these inscriptions were originally written on appended marble tablets that have since been removed. While the monument's planning committee had reportedly planned for each of Weymouth's four villages to erect a monument, North Weymouth's Soldiers' Monument remains the town's only Civil War memorial. It was rededicated on May 12, 2018.]]></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>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The City of Lynn's Soldiers' Monument is notable for the allegorical classicism of its figures, with a Grecian style preferred over the conventional standing soldier of many contemporaneous memorials. Comprised of a trio of bronze figures atop an ovular, granite base, the monument displays a central figure representing the City of Lynn crowning her fallen sons. Leaning on a shield which displays the city's coat of arms, to her left sits a statue representing Justice, to her right, an allegorical figure of War. The Soldiers' Monument was dedicated on September 17, 1873 - the eleventh anniversary of the Battle of Antietam - in honour of the 283 Lynn soldiers who gave their lives for the Union cause. A reported 15,000 people were present at the memorial's unveiling.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The memorial to the Second Maine Regiment of Volunteer Infantry is located at Mount Hope Cemetery just outside of Bangor. The fourteen-foot-high bronze sculpture, mounted on white granite, depicts a faceless angel carrying a wounded soldier and is accompanied by a small stone tablet at its base and a curved stone wall behind. The monument was erected at the bequest of civic-benefactor Colonel Luther H. Pierce, a native of Bangor and lumber baron, who served in the Union Army and the Second Maine Regiment between 1861 and 1868. Pierce also requested the erection of new gate posts and a fence at Mount Hope in remembrance of his comrades. However, these requests were only completed by the 1960s, the monument was designed and created by O. V. Shaffer, a sculptor from Wisconsin, and erected by the Mount Hope Cemetery and Crematory Corporation in 1962. The monument was dedicated in the same year.  ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Located in the Mount Hope Cemetery, just outside of Bangor, this Soldiers' Monument was one of the first monuments to be erected in Maine. Erected by the Citizens of Bangor and dedicated to the men of Bangor who served during the war, this monument was consecrated on 17th June 1864. With the dominant engraving facing towards the Penobscot River, this twenty-foot granite monument is composed of a stepped base, a midsection inscribed with a main inscription and the names of fallen Union troops and surmounted by an obelisk. The conception of the monument, and a dedicated lot for civil war veterans, originated in February 1863 with the arrival of the body of Col. Stephen Decatur Carpenter, the first of Bangor's casualties. Over the course of 1863 The Soldiers Cemetery Corporation was formed and raised $3,489.94 from public subscription to fund the lot and monument. The monument was designed by S. P. Bradbury of Bangor and created by Sanborn & Co. based in East Cambridge, MA. Throughout the war a larger GAR lot was later established.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Confederate Memorial Fountain   (Helena, Montana)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Confederate Memorial Fountain was commissioned in 1915 by the Winnie Davis Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy to commemorate confederate civil war soldiers.  The fountain was erected in Hill Park in the city of Helena, Montana, and dedicated on September 5th, 1916, making it the only monument to the Confederacy in the Northwestern United States.  It consisted of a square stone base with a plinth in the center.  On the plinth rested the basin, and out of the basin rose an octagonal prism which was the fountainhead, and also had the inscriptions carved on it.  In the wake of the Charleston church shooting in July of 2015, some city officials broached renaming the fountain the "Civil War Memorial Fountain," but the Lewis & Clark County Heritage Tourism Council argued for its preservation as a historic monument.  However, after the white supremacy rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August of 2017, the fountain was removed in response to general protest, as well as a letter signed by members of the Native American Caucus, the Montana House of Representatives, and the Montana Senate delivered to city officials calling for the removal of the fountain.  It was replaced in April of 2020 by the Equity Fountain.  ]]></dcterms:description>
