Stone Mountain is a huge, rounded mass of light gray granite, about 16 miles east of Atlanta, Georgia. It is the largest stone mountain in North America. At its highest point it rises over 700 feet above the surrounding terrain. It measures about 2 miles long and 1 mile wide. In 1923, an ambitious sculpturing project was undertaken on Stone Mountain. Henry A. Lukeman worked on Stone Mountain. The work was discontinued in 1928 because of lack of funds. The three men of the confederacy, Stone Wall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis images are carved in Stone Mountain.
