Stone Mountain Lee Carving Era and Unveiling Plans
The Stone Mountain project near Atlanta began in 1922 under Gutzon Borglum to carve a 180 foot statue of Lee on the mountainside, with a group of six figures planned. After Borglum’s 1926 departure, Augustus Lukeman took over, finishing the first unit as the memorial progresses toward a nearly mile-long facade. An open air theater and pilgrimage site are planned beneath the monument, with ceremonies featuring Georgia Governor Wardman, Atlanta Mayor Ragsdale, and others, while figures from New York and California participated in the unveiling efforts. The work aims to memorialize the cause and unite former allies and foes in preserving the indestructible granite landmark.
