Bridget's feedback:

"Your use of narrative elements amidst the historical discussion contributes to a dynamic and engaging essay. Taking the story all the way up to the monument helps the reader understand the legacy and context. The writing is overall clear and controlled; you will want to proofread for occasional errors, including comma placement after years.

The parenthetical citations are currently placed incorrectly: they will appear after the closing quotation mark but before any final punctuation. You will also use the author's last name, not the title, when the author's last name is available (as in the case of McCabe). Any direct quotations that are, in turn, quoting someone else (as in your two quotes) will probably be marked as "cited in" or "quoted in"--check your style guide for rules regarding indirect sources). Finally, I notice reference to McCabe throughout. I suggest when you are describing the battle, use a parenthetical citation instead of a signal phrase to avoid disrupting the narrative flow. If and when you choose to use an author's name as a signal phrase, consider explaining their relevance to the topic (or their expertise); this can also be done by giving the name of the article to show the reader the source ("As Carol McCabe, the author of..., explains...")."
