"Monuments to those who died in the battle were erected in the late nineteenth
century. They are located in a small field across the tour road from the
Elkhorn Tavern. The Monument to the Confederate Dead, of carved limestone
with inscriptions, was erected in 1887. In 1889 the Monument to the Union
Soldier, also of carved limestone and with inscriptions and reliefs, was
placed close to the-Confederate marker.
"The monuments to the Confederate Dead (1887) and to the Union Soldier (1889)
are examples of early commemoration efforts. They also illustrate how Americans
thirty -ye-ars. after the battle chose to remember and memorialize their dead
soldiers and past heroes." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
