Good Night Dixie! Salute!

This Confederate Memorial at the Lamar County Courthouse in Paris, Texas, is a historic structure erected in 1903 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy with private donations. Designed by Italian sculptor Pompeo Luigi Coppini, it features a statue of a Confederate soldier atop a pedestal, with busts of four Confederate leaders—Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Albert Sidney Johnston—at the base. The monument, costing $3,000 is located on the southwest courthouse lawn and is part of the courthouse’s designation as a State Antiquities Landmark since 1992.
