About this postcard
A tall pedestal monument topped by a standing statue of a Confederate soldier holding a rifle, rising above a stepped base at a street corner; a brick church or public building with a tower stands at the left and a street with utility poles recedes to the right. The card names it the Confederate Monument at Macon, Georgia, a memorial to local Confederate dead dedicated in 1879 and long a landmark of the city's downtown. The publisher imprint identifies McEvoy Book & Stationery Co. of Macon, a firm that issued many local view cards in the early 1900s.
