Description	Proceedings at the Unveiling of the Soldiers' Monument gives an account of the ceremony that took place on August 1, 1885, when the Sandusky County Soldiers' Monument was dedicated. Many dignitaries were present, among which were former president Rutherford B. Hayes, General Ralph P. Buckland, senators John Sherman and Henry B. Payne, and former Ohio governor Charles Foster. The book includes text of the speeches given that day, along with a background on the monument and a history of Fort Stephenson. This book contains 123 pages in length and measures 6" x 9" (15.24 x 22.86cm). Sixty-five pages are included here. In October 1882, voters of Sandusky County approved a tax to raise money for a soldiers' monument. After voter approval the Sandusky County Soldiers' Monumental Association was formed. The association awarded the contract for creating the memorial to the New England Granite Works of Hartford, Connecticut. Located in Fort Stephenson Park, the monument was completed in July 1885 for a total cost of $7,000. It is constructed of Quincy granite. The statue of a soldier at parade is made of blue Westerly granite. The entire structure stands 44 feet and 3 inches high (13.48 meters).
