Alabama monument dedication - 2:00 pm EST
at Allatoona Pass Battlefield in Georgia
The Park is supervised by Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites, and the erection of monuments to troops who fought at Allatoona is a project of the Etowah Valley Historical Society. The raising of funds, and monument design, has been carried out by the Alabama Society of the Military Order of the Stars and Bars, and the Capt. S. H. Dent Chapter, UDC, Eufaula, AL. The six foot monument was made by J. J. Jaxon Monument Co., Eufaula, Alabama.
This project has been successful due to contributions from the Alabama Society, Military Order of the Stars and Bars; various Chapters and individuals of the Alabama Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy; Alabama Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans; Order of the Southern Cross; and various other organizations, Camps, Chapters, and individuals. Thanks to all who contributed to make this project a reality.
Please attend and help honor the Alabamians who fought at Allatoona Pass.
