Still in Grant Park in Galena and looking at the Soldier's Monument. It is inscribed "To the Soldiers of Jo Davies County Who Served in the War of the Rebellion 1861-1865."
Soldiers have their names on all four sides, along with two battles: Wilderness, Chickamauga; Shiloh, Ft. Donelson; Stone River, Appomattox; Chattanooga, Vicksburg.
There was also a US Grant monument that had the battles he fought in during the Mexican War and Civil War.
