David O. Dodd Memorial, War memorial at Old State House grounds in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The David O. Dodd Memorial is a war memorial located on the grounds of the Old State House in Little Rock, Arkansas. It features a central gray marble shaft topped with a white marble relief, flanked by stone benches for visitors to view the inscription.
The monument was erected in 1923 to commemorate a teenager executed during the Civil War for activities related to intelligence gathering. The inscription records the events and consequences of that historical moment.
The name honors a young Confederate, and his personal story is told through inscriptions visible on the monument itself. Visitors encounter a narrative from a tumultuous period that remains present at this location today.
The memorial stands in the eastern garden area of the Old State House Museum, making it accessible as part of a walking tour of the grounds. Stone benches provide spots to pause and read the inscriptions at your own pace.
The inscriptions provide a complete personal narrative, from arrest through the final consequences, told in detail on the monument itself. This transforms the memorial into a kind of tragic timeline carved directly into the stone for visitors to follow.
