Description

A Revolutionary War soldier stands in uniform, holding a musket with both hands with the barrel over his proper left shoulder. He is wearing knee-length pants, stockings, a wind-blown blanket wrapped around his shoulders, a muffler around his neck, and a tricorn hat. The figure is mounted upon a tall, multitiered, inscribed base that includes draping with bunting and rossettes above the midsection. The lower section of the base is stepped, with a bronze copy of the seal of New Jersey and a plaque below it. The inscription reads:
