The monument is located on Star Island, New Hampshire, where Tucke was a minister, judge, educator, physician, and in his probate record, "owner" of a 12-year-old black girl by the name of Diana, valued at 20 pounds.
[2][3] Philanthropist Edward Tuck, the namesake of Dartmouth's business school, financed the monument's construction in 1914, in cooperation with the New Hampshire Historical Society.
On July 29, 1914, the Historical Society organized a dedication for the monument,[4] and published a 68-page book, memorializing the event:[1] It was a beautiful day, and a fresh breeze blew all the clouds inland.
Arriving at Star Island the company proceeded to the monument, which stands a short distance southeast of the quaint little stone church where candle-light services are still held as in days of yore.
