Additional Details:
This splendid equiestrian statue of Gen. Robt. E. Lee (by Mercier) was unveiled May 30th, 1890, being the chief event of the largest and most inspiring reunion of Confederate Veterans ever held in the South. After the unveiling ceremonies in a vacant field just north of the monument (now covered by handsome residences) a great sham battle was fought, during the course of which the famous "Rebel Yell" was heard again and again
