The claim that The Minute Man depicts Davis first appeared in Robbins (1945) and can be found in sources such as Linenthal (1991, p. 30) and Stout (1999).

Sources disagree on whether the cannons were "confiscated" from the Confederate Army (Tolles 1999), left over from the Union Army (Holzer 2019, p. 49), or just from the era (Eaton 2019 and NPS 2020).

The claim that The Minute Man depicts Davis first appeared in Robbins (1945) and can be found in sources such as Linenthal (1991, p. 30) and Stout (1999). Other sources about Daniel Chester French, such as Creston (1947), Richman (1972), and Holzer (2019), are silent on the subject. Contemporaneous sources such as Hoar, Emerson & Walcott (1876) also do not mention the connection between Davis and the statue. Robbins, Roland Wells (1945). The Story of the Minutemen Man.
