To the Confederate Woman
None has told the story of her,
whose heart and life were a
sacrifice. Offered as valiantly
and unselfishly upon the alter of
her Southland, as was any warrior's
life upon the battlefield. So to
her in part we have placed this
monument, that all may know she
loved her country, and enfold her
memory in eternal glory,
cherishing it forever.
Right
A testimonial of
our affection and
reverence for the
Confederate soldier;
the memory of whose
brave deeds and heroic
life and the principles
for which he sacrificed
so much we bequeath
to our children through
all future generations.
