Photo Gallery - Soldiers & Sailors Monument

The "Soldiers and Sailors Monument" in Pioneer Park at 6th and "E" Streets was erected by a group of men who made up some of the last survivors from the Civil War. It was dedicated in April 1916, on the anniversary of General Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox. The figure of a Civil War soldier stands atop the marble monument and on each of its four sides is a memorial to the soldiers and sailors who lost their lives in four different wars: the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Spanish American War and the Mexican War of 1847 when California became a part of the United States.
