Tekst op het monument:
Place where
Sam Davis was
captured Nov. 19, 1863
Minor Hill, Tennessee
Executed at Pulaski,
Tenn. Nov. 27, 1863
When offered his freedom
for information, his
answer was, "No, I cannot.
I would rather die a
thousand deaths than
betray a friend or be
false to a duty."
No greater love hath man
than this: life for one's
friend to give, that soul
divine, speaks to his foe,
"I die that you may live."
