But this is not the main advantage of the mountain. All tourists tend to first consider the figures of horsemen carved directly from the granite mountain. These are the leaders of Confidence. President J. Davis, and generals R. Lee and T. Jackson, nicknamed "Jackson - Stone Wall". The bas-relief is on the northern slope of Mount Stone Mountain. The figures are of such size that on one shoulder only the gene. Lee can fit a good 30 people. Work on the creation of bas-relief began in 1917 by sculptor G. Boglum. From 1925 to 1929, O.
