The Palmetto Regiment Monument
The oldest monument on the State House grounds
is the
Palmetto Regiment Monument or the iron palmetto
erected
in 1858.
Honoring the men of the Palmetto Regiment
for
their service in the Mexican War, it stands off the
west
side of the present State House. It first stood in
front of the Old State House that was burned by Federal
troops in 1865. Some of the lower and larger branches of
the tree were destroyed by Sherman's soldiers and the
compartment at the base was torn open. The monument
itself, however, was spared.
The engraved
inscription on
the east panel reads:
"South Carolina to her sons of the
Palmetto Regiment who fell in the War With Mexico
Anno
Domini 1847."
The three other panels bear approximately
450 names of men of the regiment.
