The Lake Village Confederate Monument is located on the median of Lakeshore Drive, between Main and Jackson Streets in Lake Village, Arkansas. The marble monument depicts a Confederate Army soldier standing in mid stride with his left foot forward. His right hand holds the barrel of a rifle, whose butt rests on the monument base. He carries a bedroll draped over his left shoulder, and wears a Confederate cap. A cannon that served as a fountain was once part of the sculpture, but is now missing. The statue is about high and square; it rests on a marble foundation that is long, wide, and high. The monument was erected in 1910 by two chapters of the United Daughters of the Confederacy at a cost of about $3,000. Read more on Wikipedia
