Summary:
A figure of a Civil War soldier stands with his musket in the crook of his proper right arm, holding an open powder flask, preparing to load. He is in Confederate fatigue uniform and wears a wide-brimmed hat. A bedroll is slung over his proper left shoulder and a cartridge box and canteen hang on his proper right side. The soldier is mounted upon a tall, square base adorned with reliefs depicting: (front) crossed Confederate flags and crossed muskets and flask to represent the Infantry; (north side) crossed cannons and a plunger to represent the Navy; (rear) crossed Confederate flags and crossed swords to represent the Cavalry; and (south side) two crossed cannons and two rows of cannonballs to represent the Artillery. Horizontal cannons decorate each corner of the base. Surrounding the base is a marble curb adorned with four marble urns, one at each corner.
