Description
The United Daughters of the Confederacy approved a design from Frederick C. Hibbard of Chicago for the Confederate Memorial which was dedicated on May 17, 1917. This woman, part of the central bronze figure that contains a total of three women, represents Night which is looking over another woman's shoulder, Victory's Angel, with a furtive glance. Her posture evokes trepidation and nervousness, as if she knows what evening brings and the outlook for tomorrow. This symbolism represents the fact that Union forces received 20,000 fresh troops as re-enforcement during the night and routed the Confederates from the field the following day by noon.
