Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Designed by sculptor James Goodwin Batterson, the Civil War Monument at the center of Elton Park in the village of Bloomfield, New York is a copy of the Deerfield Soldiers' Monument in Massachusetts: that is, a 45-foot granite obelisk topped by a figure of a Union soldier gazing vigilantly to the south so as to repel any invader, and engraved with a dedication "to the memory of her sons who died in defence (sic) of the Union" as well as those men's names, dates and places of death, 39 in all. Dedicated in 1867, it's one of the earliest-ever artistic depictions of an American Civil War combatant. The four cannons surrounding the monument, two of which are seen here, were originally genuine Civil War artillery pieces, but were replaced later with replicas. As seen in January 2022. |
