Summary:
A Civil War soldier stands with his proper right hand raised in front of him where he once held a rifle. His proper right leg is braced from behind by a stump. He is dressed in a uniform and a wide-brimmed hat. The sculpture is mounted atop a shaft with a tiered lower section set upon a stepped bottom. Crossed flags in low relief appear on the rear of the base. Cannonballs rest at the top of each corner of the bottom tier.
