A possible clue to the identity of the recipient appears in the gutter of the dedication leaf in the form of a penciled note indicating the volume was purchased from "Dr. Owen's library" in 1939. Lucian Lamar Knight was Georgia's state historian, founder of the state archives, and literary editor of the Atlanta "Constitution." He was also a popular orator and a several of his addresses are included in this volume. The title poem was inspired by the ongoing effort, described in the foreword, to have a Confederate memorial carved on the side of Stone Mountain.
