REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) 140P5225R0008

Project Title: Preserve Wisconsin Memorial - Vicksburg National Military Park (U.S. National Park Service)

Park/Unit: VICKSBURG NATIONAL MILITARY PARK Google Earth

PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: Union Avenue (milepost 2.9 of tour road) in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

DESCRIPTION: Wisconsin Memorial was dedicated on May 22, 1911. This historic structure stands 122 feet high and on top of a raised pedestal is a 57.5 foot Doric column and a bronze statue of "Old Abe" the war eagle, mascot of the 8th Wisconsin Infantry. On each side of the column (bordered on three sides with a low wall) are a statue of an infantryman and a cavalryman with his horse. Embedded within the pedestal are bronze relief panels in honor of the 9,075 Wisconsin troops who fought at Vicksburg. A relief tablet at the base of the column depicts a Union and Confederate soldier with hands clasped in friendship to symbolize the peace which now exists between the states. The sculptor was Julius Loester.

This granite monument was the work of prominent New York architect W. Liance Cottrell and cost $90,644 to build. The stone was quarried in Winnsboro, South Carolina, and stands as a reminder of the sacrifices made by Wisconsin soldiers during the 47 day siege of Vicksburg.
