The Louisiana State Memorial was placed by the Louisiana Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
The Louisiana State Memorial is made of two bronze statues, the first a nine-foot reclining artilleryman who has fallen, perhaps wounded. The second figure, a ten-foot tall female who represents the "Spirit of the Confederacy" floating above the dead soldier.
The memorial is made of Polished Green Granite Bronze, at a cost of about $100,000.
