Our Confederate Soldiers (Franklin, Tennessee)
Confederate
A statue of a six-foot-tall soldier at parade rest sculpted out of Italian marble on a Vermont granite base with a pillar that helps the monument reach thirty-seven feet tall. Franklin, a suburb of Nashville, was the site of a battle on November 30th, 1864 that resulted in defeat for the Confederates and nearly seven thousand casualties on their side. The Franklin chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy fundraised for the monument and planned its design. The monument was dedicated on November 30th, 1899 to a crowd of thousands, including veterans, bands, and a former Confederate general.
