The natural grandeur of the homeland will form a most beautiful
memorial to Sioux City war dead, where the roadway from Stone Park
Boulevard winds through the meadows to the crest of the highest of
Stone Parks wooded hills. The city of Sioux City has beautified the
highway in laying splendid terraces on each side of the roadway, and in
planting one of Iowa's finest native trees to the memory of each of the
city's Gold Stars. In but a few years the drive will present a scene
most beautiful to look upon. A mammoth monument will mark the entrance
to the road. In passing on, one will enter upon a drive where towering
elms grace the sides of the road to the west entrance of the park. The
stillness and beauty of this countryside lane will manifest reverence
of a great city for the sacrifices of her heroic dead. The roadway will
be named The Memorial Mile.
