Stone Mountain Carving through trees

Stone Mountain Park carving.

The Confederate Memorial Carving depicts three Southern heroes of the Civil War:  Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson.  The figures measure 90 by 190 feet, surrounded by a carved surface that covers three acres, it is larger than a football field – the largest relief sculpture in the world. The carving is recessed 42 feet into the mountain. Work on the carving began in 1915 and was finally complete in 1972.
