CSA
Erected by the Daughters of the Confederacy

In honor of the men, of Bartow County who served in the army of the Confederate States of America. Those who fought and lived, and those who fought and died.

May this shaft ever call to memory, the story of the glory of the men who wore the gray.

(Northeast side)
Let the stranger who may in future time read this inscription, and recognize that there were men, whom power could not corrupt, death could not terrify defeat could not dishonor; let these virtues plead for just judgement in the cause — for which they perished .— Let Georgia remember that the state taught them how to live and how to die; and that from her broken fortunes, she has preserved for her children, the priceless treasure of her memories, teaching all who may claim the same birth-right, that truth virtue and patriotism, endure forever.
