Around the base of the monument are the life size statues of four Southern generals in the American Civil War: Thomas R. R. Cobb, Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and William H. T. Walker. Interestingly, the enlisted Confederate soldier depicted above the generals is the civil war hero Sergeant Berry Benson. Known, among other things, as never having surrendered his weapon at Appomattox with General Lee. An inscription at the base reads, “In honor of the men of Richmond County who died in the cause of the Confederate States.”
