Only three letters mark this monument—Lee. The South felt no more were
needed. This marvelous likeness of General Lee on “Traveller” was
sculptured by the French artist, Jean Antoine Mercie, and was unveiled
by Lee’s West Point classmate and friend, General Joseph E. Johnston, on
May 30, 1890. Arrived in Richmond, the statue was drawn to its location
by schoolchildren. ¶ _Proceed westward on Monument four blocks to Davis
Avenue._
