The State of Mississippi monument is in Stonewall Confederate Cemetery in Winchester, Virginia.

From the monument:

Mississippi

In a tangle of willows without light
The singular screech-owl’s tight
Invisible lyric seeds the mind
With the furious murmer of their chivalry

Ode to the Confederate Dead
By Allen Tate
