Union Monument, Colchester, Connecticut (Left Side)
Honoring Those Who Died for Their Country in the War Between the States
On the Town Green, Main Street, Colchester. Erected 1875. I live in a town adjacent to Colchester, and while we have several Revolutionary War monuments, eighty-five years seemed to have dimmed their patriotism.

The artist was sculptor George Edwin Bissell, a Washington, Connecticut native and himself a Civil War veteran. He lived for a time in Poughkeepsie, New York, where his father was a marble broker (how convenient was that). His work graces monuments in Western Europe and Eastern United States, including several more in Connecticut.
