Bartow County Confederate Monument, Cartersville, Georgia
LET THE STRANGER WHO MAY IN
FUTURE TIME READ THIS INSCRIPTION,
AND RECOGNIZE THAT THERE WERE MEN,
WHOM POWER COULD NOT CORRUPT,
DEATH COULD NOT TERRIFY,
DEFEAT COULD NOT DISHONOR;
LET THESE VIRTUES PLEAD FOR
JUST JUDGMENT IN THE CAUSE
-- FOR WHICH THEY PERISHED. --
LET GEORGIA REMEMBER THAT THE
STATE TAUGHT THEM HOW TO LIVE
AND HOW TO DIE; AND THAT FROM HER
BROKEN FORTUNES, SHE HAS PRESERVED
FOR HER CHILDREN, THE PRICELESS
TREASURE OF HER MEMORIES, TEACHING
ALL WHO MAY CLAIM THE SAME
BIRTHRIGHT, THAT TRUTH, VIRTUE AND
PATRIOTISM ENDURE FOREVER.

That photo on the bottom is actually of Oxford, MS.I grew up in an area where there was a Confederate Monument almost at every county court house.
The Confederate Monument at Greenwood, Mississippi, was a common sight. It wasn't until years later that I began to be impressed by its size and the details.

This Confederate Monument at the Leflore County Court House is unique for a county monument in the number of figures displayed on it.
The top figure represents General Humpreys. On the four sides, figures depict various branches of service.
The touching double figure on the front depicts a woman giving aid to a wounded soldier.

Photo take during the dedication of the Monument. I believe it was around 1890.

The program for the dedication stated the two figures on the front represented
a 15-year old soldier who was mortally wounded at the Battle of Collierville, TN.
And just down the road is the Confederate Monument at the Carroll County Court House, also a tall monument.View attachment 15998
