The Confederate monument, 1900: the names
The names on the Confederate monument on the Court House Square, unveiled on July 21, 1900, as Thomas D. Gold transcribed them in his History of Clarke County, Virginia (1914), printed pages 314 to 316. Gold introduces the list: "The monument has upon it the following inscription and also the names of those who lost their lives during the war."
This is Gold's transcription, not a reading of the stone itself; the inscription's own words are printed as he gives them.
