Spartanburg Confederate War Monument
[East Facing Side]
Erected in honor of the
Confederate Soldiers and
Sailors from Spartanburg
City and County
by
voluntary contributions
from her citizens and Spartan
Chapter United Daughters
of the Confederacy
1910
[North Facing Side]
Let this monument
teach our children and our
children's children to honor
the memory and the heroic deeds
of the Southern Soldier,
who fought for rights
guaranteed him under the
Constitution.
Four years our armies contended
against great odds, enduring
incredible hardships, and ceasing
to struggle only when the South
was exhausted, and could no longer
furnish recruits and supplies.
[West Facing Side]
How grand a fame this marble
watches o'er their
wars behind them;
God's great peace before.
Fort Sumter to Appomattox
1861———1865
[South Facing Side]
Of the past, mindful;
To the present, faithful;
For the future, hopeful.
Motto of Spartan Chapter
