Harrison Confederate Marker
Harrison, Boone County, Arkansas |
|
This monument perpetuates the memory of those who true to the
instincts of their birth, faithful to the teachings of their fathers,
constant in their love for the state, died in the performance of their
duty, who have glorified a fallen cause by the simple manhood of their
lives, the patient endurance of suffering and the heroism of death and
who, in the dark hours of imprisonment in the hopelessness of the
hospital, in the short sharp agony of the field found support and
consolation in the belief that at home they would not be forgotten let
the stranger who may in future times read this inscription recognize
that these were men whom power could not corrupt, whom death could not
terrify, whom defeat could not dishonor and let their virtues plead for
just judgment of the case in which they perished.
Let the Arkansawyer of another generation remember that the state taught
them how to live and how to die and that from her broken fortunes she
has preserved for her children the priceless treasure of their memories
teaching all who may claim the same birthright that truth, courage and
patriotism endure forever.
Dedicated by the General Jo Shelby Camp No. 1414 of the Arkansas
Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans in Harrison, Arkansas on
April 6, 1986, to honor the memory of those gallant Confederates who
fought valiantly for their beloved southland.
