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 – <font color=navy>the largest relief sculpture in the world</font>. The carving is recessed 42 feet into the mountain. Work on the carving began in 1915 and was finally complete in 1972.

Now there is a park where we went to take this picture. Refer Stone Mountain Park.
