William Jasper Monument

The William Jasper Monument in Savannah, Georgia, honors Sergeant William Jasper, who became known for his bravery in the Revolutionary War. Dedicated in 1888, the monument stands in Madison Square near the De Soto Hotel and was designed by Alexander Doyle. It features a bronze sculpture of the sergeant in a heroic pose, holding the Moultrie flag above his head. The granite base bears three relief scenes from Jasper's life as well as a commemorative inscription. You can view the statue and the historic inscription, which recalls Jasper's last action during the Siege of Savannah in 1779.
