Lee Monument
Only three letters mark this monument—Lee. The South felt no more were needed. This marvelous likeness of General Lee on “Traveller” was sculptured by the French artist, Jean Antoine Mercie, and was unveiled by Lee’s West Point classmate and friend, General Joseph E. Johnston, on May 30, 1890. Arrived in Richmond, the statue was drawn to its location by schoolchildren. ¶ Proceed westward on Monument four blocks to Davis Avenue.
