Southern Horror #113

Southern Horror #113 (Georgia, 18 of 43) by Kris Graves The Hancock County Confederate Monument, erected in 1882 by the Ladies Memorial Association of Hancock County, stands in front of the Hancock County Courthouse in Sparta, Georgia. While this was going on, I was commissioned by National Geographic to photograph memorials, monuments, and sites of the antebellum South. My friend Marshall Scheuttle and I drove approximately 4000 miles across eight southern states making photographs of every site we could find. Some have been removed, most remain in place.
