Card Text (transcribed from postcard)
One of the city's most beautiful spots is at the heart of Monument Avenue. Here one can stand and view the South's commemoration in bronze and stone of three of her heroes -- Stuart, Lee and Davis. In the foreground is Stuart Circle Hospital, modern and complete in every detail. In the background, St. James Episcopal Church and on the left the Equestrian Monument to the South's great cavalry leader, the dashing and youthful Stuart.
