Although many monuments include representations of people, a number of monuments are dedicated just to one individual. There are several types. Equestrian statues are reserved for commanders of Armies and Army Corps. (Robert E. Lee's equestrian statue is actually part of the State of Virginia monument but is also included here.) Another group are the bronze statues - mostly division commanders, but also including a Chaplain and a civilian who picked up his musket and went out to defend his country. Another group of monuments honor individuals with a bronze tablet or with a name carved in stone. |
