Missouri State Memorial
| The Missouri State Memorial is located just south of the Stockade Redan
on Confederate Avenue, tour stop 10, at milepost 10.9 of the park tour road. It is unique
as the only state memorial on the battlefield dedicated to soldiers of both armies. The
height is symbolic of the forty-two Missouri units, 27 Union, 15 Confederate. It stands
where two opposing Missouri regiments clashed in battle. |

| The monument features a bronze angel which represents "The Spirit of
the Republic." The sculptor was Victor S. Holm. The memorial was erected at a cost of
$40,000 and dedicated on October 17, 1917.
