From Wikipedia.
This monument is located between Centre College and the Presbyterian Church of Danville at the corner of Main and College streets in Danville, Kentucky. It is dedicated to the Confederacy and on the National Register of Historic Places.
It was dedicated in 1910 by the surviving veterans of the Confederacy of Boyle County and the Kate Morrison Breckinridge Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
The statue consists of a granite pedestal and a marble statue depicting Captain Robert D. Logan, who was actually from Lincoln County, but lived in Boyle County after the war. Captain Logan served with John Hunt Morgan in the 6th Kentucky Cavalry's Company A and was captured during Morgan's Raid in Cheshire, Ohio, on July 20, 1863.
He spent much of the rest of the war in various Union prisons, including the Ohio State Penitentiary.
Robert Logan died on June 25, 1896, fourteen years before the construction of the monument.
