Monument reads:

Our Confederate Dead
"WHO THEY WERE FEW MAY KNOW
WHAT THEM WERE ALL KNOW"
1861-1865

"THE MUFFLED DRUM'S SAD ROLL HAS BEAT
THE SOLDIERS LAST TATTOO.
NO MORE ON LIFE'S PARADE SHALL MEET
THE BRAVE AND DARING FEW."

"ON FAME'S ETERNAL CAMPING GROUND
THEIR SILENT TENTS ARE SPREAD
AND GLORY GUARDS WITH SOLEMN ROUND
THE BIVOUAC OF THE DEAD."

"NOR BRAVER BLED
FOR BRIGHTER LAND
NOR BRIGHTER LAND
HAD A CAUSE SO GRAND."
