The Sam Davis Memorial is a granite slap about 3 feet high and 1 foot wide. It is sitting on a granite base and that base is sitting on a concrete platform.
The inscription is:
Sam Davis Memorial-Place where Sam Davis was captured Nov. 19, 1863 Minor Hill, Tennessee-Executed at Pulaski Tenn. Nov. 27, 1863. When offered his freedom for information, his answer was, "No, I cannot, I would rather die a thousand deaths than betray a friend or be false to a duty."
No greater love hath man than this: life for one's friend to give, that soul divine, speaks to his foe, "I die that you may live."
