Confederate Monument Salisbury NC

Confederate Monument Salisbury NC

Salisbury was a POW camp for captured Yankee invaders during the war. The Battle of Grant's Creek was fought in the town, which stopped Stoneman's Raiders on their way to Raleigh.

It was dedicated in 1909, and in attendance at the ceremony was Mrs. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson of Charlotte, North Carolina. To me, this is the most beautiful of all Confederate monuments. The locals refer to it as "Fame."
