"Georgia's Stone Mountain" by Willard Neal is a historical account written during the mid-20th century. The book delves into the history and significance of Stone Mountain, the world's largest exposed granite monolith, and its transformation into a site for a monumental Confederate memorial. The narrative explores the monumental carving project that features prominent figures such as General Robert E. Lee, President Jefferson Davis, and General Stonewall Jackson, tracing this ambitious artistic endeavor from conception through the various obstacles it faced over the decades. The content of the book intricately details the challenges and triumphs surrounding the creation of the Stone Mountain Memorial, highlighting key figures like sculptor Gutzon Borglum and later Augustus Lukeman. Neal narrates the progress of the carving project, the various techniques used, and the cultural implications entwined with the site, addressing both historical context and community involvement. The book not only encompasses the monumental effort behind the carving itself but also reflects on the mountain's broader geological and historical significance, making it an intriguing read for those interested in American history, art, and the complexities surrounding monuments and memory.
