This Confederate States of America monument was placed on the Mine Creek Battlefield by the Kansas Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans on April 24th, 2004. It represents the first and only Confederate monument on Kansas soil. The flag on the monument is the Confederate Battle Flag of Missouri. The Memorial reads as follows:
Battle of Mine Creek
October 25th, 1864
Of the approximately 600 Confederate casualties in this battle, many of those killed in action were buried in unmarked graves on this battlefield.
Most of the dead were from Marmaduke's Missouri Cavalry Division and Fagan's Arkansas Cavalry Division of Major General Sterling Price's Army of Missouri.
Known but to God, they gave their lives in the defence of their country, fighting for the ideals in which they believed. We dedicate this memorial in their honor. May they rest in peace for all eternity.
