📍Confederate Memorial Carving, Stone Mountain, Georgia

An unfinished epic of the South, the Confederate Memorial Carving depicts Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson on their horses, some 400 feet above ground level. The mountain was owned by a Klan member, Samuel Venable.

It remains unfinished due to personal conflict, but the sculptor—Gutzon Borglum—wished to have: five groups of figures, sixty-five mounted officers representing the states, General Nathan Bedford Forrest and his cavalry (700 to 1,000 figures, each from 35 feet to 50 feet high), as well as a room cut 60 feet into the mountain, 320 feet wide, and 40 feet high, faced by 13 columns.
