Stranger
Tell the American people
that they to whom this
monument is dedicated,
offered their lives that
our government might live.
"Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty."
O.A. Somers.
"The muffled drum's sad roll has beat
the soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
that brave and fallen few."
"On fame's eternal camping-ground
their silent tents are spread.
And glory guards with solemn round
the bivouac of the dead."
And never shall the land forget
how gushed the life-blood of her brave-
gushed warm with hope and courage yet,
upon the soil they fought to save
Erected 1886 by Howard County.
