A tall granite obelisk on a stepped base rises from a curving path in Capitol Park, Birmingham, Alabama, with a smaller statue of a soldier on a pedestal at right among the trees. The monument, a shaft erected in the early 1900s by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, stood in the park near the old state capitol grounds until it was removed in 2020. The card's red caption identifies the scene and carries the number 14276.
