Stone Mountain is a natural wonder turned Confederate monument. By Georgia state law, the entire park is designated as a memorial to the Confederacy. The largest high relief sculpture in the world, the 'Confederate Memorial Carving', depicts three Confederate figures of the Civil War (President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson) on horseback. The effort to create a Confederate monument on Stone Mountain began in the 1910s. Yet, the monument was only completed in 1972. Spanning multiple efforts by world-renowned artists and more than 50 years, the Stone Mountain memorial's history is one that is often unknown or misunderstood. This book delves into the controversial history of Stone Mountain, including the origin of the carving and the complicated relationships between historical events and key players who established the monument.
