Statues keep watch over the Capitol Grounds.
Can't remember precisely who this is.
Stonewall Jackson
There are sever other statues I didn't get including Edgar Allen Poe. Also not pictured here are the Virginia Civil Rights Memorial which I featured earlier and the George Washington monument which will be featured later.
From Capital Square visitor's guide:
"On the grounds north of the Capitol are bronze statues of former Virginia Governor and U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd, Sr.; William "Extra Billy" Smith, Governor of Virginia and Confederate Brigadier General; Confederate Major General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson; and Dr. Hunter Holmes McGuire, a respected Southern surgeon. In the southwest corner of the square near the Bell Tower is a seated statue of Edgar Allan Poe, who grew up in Richmond and returned years later to edit The Southern Literary Messenger."
