Abstract:

Fletcher, North Carolina is home to Calvary Episcopal Church, where the “Westminster Abbey of the South” is located. Beginning in 1924, Rector Clarence Stuart McClellan Jr.—with help from the Daughters of the Confederacy—erected 18 granite boulders with bronze dedication markers near the church. Those honored included Jefferson Davis, Stephen Foster, Dan Emmett, and others.
