According to Wikipedia: (more at site) The William Jasper Monument is a monument honoring William Jasper in Savannah, Georgia, United States. Located in Madison Square, the monument was designed by Alexander Doyle and dedicated in 1888.William Jasper was a sergeant in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. During the Battle of Sullivan's Island in 1776, he earned fame by climbing a parapet under enemy fire to reattach his company's flag after the flagpole was destroyed. For his action, he was commended by John Rutledge, the then-President of South Carolina.[1] He was later killed in action during the siege of Savannah on October 9, 1779.[1][2]
On February 2, 1888, a monument honoring Jasper was dedicated in Madison Square in Savannah, Georgia.[3][4] The monument, located near the De Soto Hotel in Savannah, was designed by Alexander Doyle and depicts Jasper during the siege of Savannah.[2] Several prominent Savannah citizens had been members of the association responsible for the monument's creation.[2] The mayor and aldermen were present at the monument's dedication, where then-Georgia Governor John Brown Gordon gave a speech.[3][5] Then-President of the United States Grover Cleveland and First Lady of the United States Frances Cleveland were guests of honor,[3] with the President stopping on his way to Jacksonville, Florida and honoring the occasion with a drive through the city.[2]
In 1957, a Georgia historical marker was erected near the monument.[6]
