While the Monumental Bronze Company in Bridgeport, Conn., perfected the art of the prefabricated, generic zinc statue that could be delivered and assembled for around $450, many essentially identical, poorly wrought statues were erected in the north and the south to commemorate both Confederate and Union veterans, “The Last Stand,” however, was commissioned by the William P. Rogers Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy from the Italian artist Pompeo Coppini, at a cost of $5,000.
