Richmond, VA (USA) – Richmond served as the Capital of the Confederate States of America during the years of the American Civil War. Outside the Museum of the Confederacy, we found the only other fish from the contest. (Apparently, the contest was in the summer of 2001!) This one has the silhouettes of three generals of the confederacy – Robert E. Lee, J. E. B. Stuart, and Stonewall Jackson. They are also enshrined on Monument Street elsewhere in the city.
