The Sam Davis Monument on the south side of the square, was erected in honor of the young confederate scout who was captured on the old Lamb's Ferry Road south of Minor Hill and executed in Pulaski on November 27, 1863. The monument was erected through the joint efforts of the John H. Woolridge Bivouac and the Giles County Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy and cost $2,000.00. The same Italian sculptor who carved the figure marking the grave of Governor John C. Brown in Maplewood Cemetery carved the statue. The monument was dedicated October 11, 1906 as a part of the program of the Confederate reunion which met in Pulaski at that date.
