Dallas Pioneer Park Cemetery

We took Flat Spencer to Dallas Pioneer Park Cemetery.  This cemetery is really the remnants of four graveyards.  The graves, dating back to the 1850's, include many of Dallas' early settlers and civic leaders.
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
This picture and the one below are of the Confederate Monument.  The monument consists of a 60-foot obelisk with a confederate soldier on top, as well as four smaller statues:  Albert Sydney Johnston at one corner, General Robert E. Lee at another corner, General Stonewall Jackson at the third corner, and Confederate President Jefferson Davis at the fourth corner.
