David Owen Dodd (1846–1864)

During the Civil War, seventeen-year-old David Owen Dodd of Little Rock (Pulaski County) was hanged as a spy by the Union army. He has been called the "boy hero of Arkansas" as well as "boy martyr of the Confederacy." His story has inspired tributes such as the epic poem The Long, Long Thoughts of Youth by Marie Erwin Ward, a full-length play, and even reportedly a 1915 silent Hollywood movie, which has not survived. Historical markers, monuments, annual reenactments of his execution, and the naming of the David O. Dodd Elementary School in southwest Little Rock are among the state's recognitions of his life and death.

I'm not sure if the following is correct since I can find only 2 "monuments" and a stained glass window to this "young" 17 year old "Civil War hero" but my answer is David O. Dodd, known as the "Arkansas Boy Martyr of the Confederacy."

That should be David Owen Dodd, the "Arkansas Boy Martyr of the Confederacy" who was hanged for spying at age 17.

Incidentally, I live in Arkansas but not in a county with a Dodd monument.
