Summary:
Full-length figure of a uniformed Union soldier stands atop a tiered base and square pedestal with columnic corners. His proper right hand is on his hip and he holds his rifle vertically by the barrel in his proper left hand. He wears a long, caped coat, cap and moustache. Decorative elements on the pedestal honor each branch of the military. The Infantry is represented by flags and muskets, the Artillery by cannon and shot, the Navy by anchor and capstan and the Cavalry by crossed sabres and bugles.
