Today, I was writing about the Confederate statue at the Halifax County Courthouse in North Carolina being removed and a picture accompanying the article was a plaque in honor of this man, but actually wasn't the monument in question.
Junius Daniel was born and grew up in Halifax County and is buried there.
The plaque reads:
JUNIUS DANIEL
1828-1864
West Point graduate in 1851. Officer in the U.S. Army until 1858. Brigadier-General in the C.S. Army Mortally wounded in the Battle of Spottsylvania Court House. Born and Buried in Halifax.
Erected 1929 by The North Carolina Historical Commission and the Halifax Chapter, U.D.C.
It is located on the grounds of the Halifax Court House.
Of course, now there is someone wanting to remove it. Confederate, you know.
