after the battle, on the approximate spot where bartow was killed, confederate soldiers placed a small stone landmark (engraved in savannah) which quoted his last words: "my god, boys, they have got me, but never give up the field." this memorial stone was later removed by union forces during one of their raids. (two markers survive on that same site in the present-day national battlefield—an older one placed by veterans of the 7th georgia in 1903, and a newer bronze marker erected in the 20th century.)
