Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument - Allentown, Pennsylvania - American Civil War Monuments and Memorials on Waymarking.com

From Smithsonian:
"The Goddess of Liberty, or Miss Columbia, stands atop tall shaft, holding a flag in her proper right hand and a torch of liberty in her proper left hand. The flagstaff is topped by an eagle with spread wings. Around the base of the shaft, on each side, are bronze portrait medallions of Pennsylvania generals. The generals depicted are Meade, McClellan, Hancock and Hartranft. The column is set upon a base with corners cut off to give an octagonal appearance. Eagles are mounted on top of each of the four corners. The west, north and south sides of the base contain bronze bas-relief panels depicting scenes related to the Civil War. One panel depicts a cavalry charge at Antietam copied after a painting by Martini. Another panel depicts Paul Dominique Philippoteaux's "Ovation of the North," showing the reply to Lincoln's call to arms. The third panel is taken from a photograph showing the bombardment of a fort by a navy frigate.
The base also contains cast iron figures mounted on projecting pedestals. The figures are painted a bronze color or gilded. The figure group titled, "One Flag, One Country," is mounted on a semi-circular projection on the east side of the base. An American flag is flanked by a Confederate and Union soldier. Single military figures are mounted on square projections at each corner. On the southwest corner is an artillery soldier holding a cannon swab with his proper left hand and a pistol in the other hand; on the northwest corner, a cavalryman is depicted drawing a sword; a sailor, on the southeast corner, stands holding a pair of binoculars with his proper left hand and a saber in his proper right hand; and an infantryman, on the northeast corner, stands holding a rifle in front of him with both hands on the barrel, butt to the ground. Five steps surround the bottom of the base at eight angles. Bronze, fluted lampposts with opalescent glass globes are mounted on the second step at each of the four corners."
