Summary[edit]

Description
English: "Appy", the bronze statue's nickname, stands facing south. The statue stands on a square marble and stone pedestal with inscriptions on all four sides of the base. On two sides of the pedestal is a list of names of the soldiers from Alexandria who died during the Civil War. Inscribed on the front of the pedestal is a message in memory honoring those soldiers who fell in battle. The north side of the pedestal reads: "They died in the consciousness of duty faithfully performed." In 1900, the name of James W. Jackson, the owner of the Marshall House, who was shot and killed on May 24, 1861, was added to the list.
