Stone Mountain Park,GA

Stone Mountain,is dubbed as “the largest exposed piece of granite in the world". This misnomer is most likely a result of advertisement by granite companies and early park administration. In actuality, there are larger exposed granite landscapes throughout the world. There is an interesting carving on the side of mountain of Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis.I've no clue who they are.
