  | The first memorial in Richmond, Virginia to the Confederate soldiers, this 90 foot granite pyramid was completed in 1869. Although it cost over twenty-five thousand dollars to erect, the pyramid was constructed without mortar, making the construction very dangerous. The crane was not tall enough to put the capstone into place so volunteers were requested to climb the pyramid and manually guide the capstone into place. Not surprisingly, no one responded. Eventually, a sailor, who was serving time in the state penitentiary (located fairly close to the cemetery), volunteered. For accomplishing the feat without being killed, officials granted the sailor his freedom. |   |
