Statue Drive for Stonewall Jackson Equestrian Monument in Richmond
A Richmond based campaign led by Rev. James Power Smith seeks to raise funds for an equestrian Stonewall Jackson statue. The effort, organized by the Jackson Monument Corporation, calls for donations from Confederate veterans, Daughters of the Confederacy and Southern admirers, with a May 10 1912 Jacksons Statue Memorial Day appeal and lectures at the University chapel. The drive urges Virginia and Southern state legislatures to assist and invites children to donate ten cents in schools.
