Original 1926 pamphlet on the history ofwork in progress on Stone Mountain and the Confederate Memorial. - It was published shortly after the firing of sculptorGutzon Borglum, who'd been hired by the United Daughters of the Confederacy (U.D.C.) to carvea likeness of the Confederate High Command on the granite mountain east of Atlanta,for "neglect and virtual abandonment, inordinate demands for money not due him, offensive egotism, and delusions of grandeur."
- Borglum barely escaped arrest as he fled the state, never again to be involved with the Stone Mountain sculpture. After leaving Georgia, Borglum relocated to the Black Hills of South Dakota where he carved the Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
- This pamphlet picks up on the work in progress with the hiringof Borglum's successor, Henry Augustus Lukeman. It describes the planned design, withthe colossal carved likenesses of President Davis, General Lee, and Stonewall Jackson,with notes on the difficulties of the work and estimations of the time and costrequired for its completion.
