Georgia Confederate Soldiers at Kennesaw Mt. National Battlefield Park



The monument is of marble and it is scalloped around the top. "Georgia" is engraved at the top and below that is the Georgia State seal.
It reads: "Georgia Confederate soldiers." "We sleep here in obedience to law, when duty called, we came. When Country called, we died."

In 1963, Representative A. A. Fowler, of Douglas County, introduced a resolution in the state legislature calling for $6500 to pay for a granite monument to the Georgians killed in the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. Although it failed to pass in that session, the resolution was reintroduced in 1964 by Cobb County Senator Edward S. Kendrick. Eventually the money was appropriated and the Georgia memorial was unveiled at the foot of the mountain August 16 1963.
