The Monticello Confederate Monument stands at the end of the main entrance road to the Oaklawn Cemetery in Monticello, Arkansas. It was dedicated in 1915 to the Confederate soldiers of Drew County who served in the American Civil War. The main sculpture, which is made of marble, depicts a uniformed Confederate soldier carrying a blanket roll, and wearing a scabbard. He stands with both hands on a rifle, whose butt end is on the ground. It measures tall and about square, and stands on a marble base high. It is inscribed as follows:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Monticello Confederate Monument )〕 *east side: CSA / TO THE / CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS / OF DREW COUNTY / 1861 - 1865 *north side: ERECTED BY THE / W.
