"In the center is a Statue of a Civil War Union Soldier at ease with
musket, approximately five feet high, atop a rockfaced granite block 5-1/2 feet
high, three feet wide and deep, above a shorter 12 foot beveled base which
protrudes an additional nine inches on each side. Upon the front of the die is
the GAR emblem and on the north and south sides bronze tablets bear the names of
the 144 Civil War soldiers from Charlestown. Funds for the monument were raised
by 200 contributors in 1909-1911, the monument bought and placed on a site
furnished by the town. Unveiled October 6, 1911. A bronze tablet bearing the
names of Charlestown citizens serving in World War I was added to the rear
(west) face in 1929." ~
