Description
Purposefully standing near the state line between Virginia and Tennessee, the Confederate Soldier Monument commemorates both the Confederate men and women from each state. Funded by James M Barker, a former Confederate colonel and influential businessman and politician, the marble standing soldier stands at 25ft tall in parade rest. At the monument unveiling, in front of a crowd of 5,000 people on May 27th, 1920, it was said that the monument further commemorated not just local Confederate men and women, but all of the Confederate men and women in the South.
