Baltimore’s Confederate Monument.

“I bring to you the greetings of the Southern people of Baltimore; they are very nearly 600.000 strong. They cherish as you do the memories of the South. There is to be erected shortly in a selected spot on one of our boulevards leading to our beautiful park the Confederate monument.

This monument is beautiful in design and conception; it is a young Confederate soldier as he appears after having received his death wound in battle. There descends from above him a female figure, representing Glory. She bears a laurel wreath to be placed upon his brow. The face of the soldier is expressive of firmness, courage and resignation, and with his left hand he still clings to the Southern flag.

“There could be no greater pleasure to our Southern people of Baltimore than to have the Southerners of the Pittsburg Association be their guests upon the occasion of the dedication of this monument. For them I extend a cordial and earnest invitation and a promised welcome.”
