More about this Monument
This Monument still stands today though some joker added a WWI bayonet to it many many years ago with some bailing wire, citizens decided to leave him with the better equipment!

BOOKS ABOUT THIS AREA OF TEXAS IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES
- Alexander's Regiment by S. H. Fox, Published 15 Jun 1918 by A. H. Planck, McKinney, Texas.
A history of the 34th regiment of Texas volunteers, [34th Texas Cavalry (dismounted)] better known as Alexander's Regiment, named for A. M. Alexander of Sherman, the first colonel. This regiment served throughout the war between the States. Regimental reunions were held annually from 1910 to 1918 and reports of each are included in this booklet.
According to the author, "This sketch is compiled from personal experience, memory and other avenues and scraps of history and information deemed reliable, and is lovingly dedicated to Capt. J. H. Roderick, the only surviving captain, and this little band of old members of the regiment who
meet from time to time to revive the memories of the past and to renew the ties of comradeship by which we are bound together." Reunions were held at Dodd City, McKinney, Sherman, Honey Grove, Caddo Mills, Denton and Dallas
