U.S. Civil War veteran Sam Smith is honored with a striking memorial statue at Summit Cemetery in Morris, Minnesota. Sam was a significant early resident of Morris which was founded in 1871. He served with distinction in the Union army for key engagements. This statue closely resembles the monument to the First Minnesota Volunteer Regiment at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The myth grew that Sam posed for that statue, but research has shown that to be most likely not true.
