Confederate Memorial (Nicholasville, Kentucky)

Confederate Memorial (Nicholasville, Kentucky)

A seven-foot soldier, clutching a rifle and bayonet with both hands and with a knapsack slung across his shoulder. Bennett Young, a son of Jessamine County and the leader of the infamous St. Albans Raid on October 19, 1864, gave the dedicatory address, which followed the typical Lost Cause strains. Young would go on to become one of the preeminent Confederate memorialists in the nation.
