 GUILFORD COURT HOUSE BATTLE- 
 FIELD 
 
 July 3rd, 1915 
 
 "In the manoeuvering that preceded it, in the 
 strategy that compelled it, in the heroism that sig- 
 nalized it, and in the results that flowed from it, the 
 Battle of Guilford Court House is second to no bat- 
 tle fought on American soil. Over the brave men who 
 fell here their comrades marched to ultimate victory 
 at Yorktown, and the cause of constitutional self- 
 government to assured triumph at Philadelphia. To 
 ofiicer and private, to continental soldier and volun- 
 teer militiaman, honor and award are alike due; they 
 need neither defence nor eulogy, but only just recog- 
 nition. A grateful nation erects this monument, there- 
 fore, as an expression of its solemn pride in the men 
 who fought here, of its imperishable devotion to their 
 memory, and of its unalterable confidence in the per- 
 manence of the principles which their example vindi- 
 cated and their blood consecrated."
