Confederate Memorial
(Back of Monument - Center):The States of the South
sent to the Battle of Shiloh
seventy nine organizations of infantry
ten organizations of cavalry and
twenty three batteries of artillery
How bravely and how well they fought
let the tablets of history on this field tell
As a greeting to the living remnant of
that host of gray and in honor of its dead
whether sleeping in distant places or
graveless here in traceless dust
this monument has been lifted up by the
hands of a loving and greatful people
(back of monument - west side)
Erected by The to Honor The Memory Of The Men Who Served The Confederate States Of America

Let Us Covenant Each With The Other and each with those Whose Sacrifices Hallow This Field To Stand For Patriotism, Principle and Conviction As They Did Even Unto Death.
