A life-size bronze sculpture of a Union soldier in full Civil War uniform is standing on a bronze plinth and holding a bayonet rifle vertically in his right hand. He is looking towards his left shoulder and his left hand is held behind his back. The sculpture was created by Johnson Marchant Mundy in 1890 and cast in 1899 by the Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company, foundry. The sculpture rests on a 10' high granite base. The sides and back of the granite base have bronze plaques with double column alphabetical lists of the names of the soldiers from Greenburgh and Mt. Pleasant Townships who served in the Civil War.
The front of the base is inscribed:
PATRIA CARIOR QUAM VITA.
(Country Dearer Than Life.)

And gave her laws
