Soldier's Monument, Civil War monument in College Square Historic District, Davenport, United States.
The granite obelisk rises 50 feet high, with a Union soldier statue at its summit facing south toward the Mississippi River below.
The monument, completed in 1881, emerged from a transformation of the Lincoln Monument Association into a memorial for Scott County's Civil War casualties.
The monument's four panels contain inscriptions commemorating Scott County citizens who died in the Civil War, including excerpts from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
The structure stands between Trinity Cathedral and Central High School, with a foundation extending 7 feet into the ground using Nauvoo stone.
Nicholas Fejervary's donation of 1,300 dollars redirected the monument's purpose from honoring Lincoln to commemorating local Civil War soldiers.
