In [[1881]], [[Confederate]] general and future Florida governor [[Edward Aylesworth Perry]] led a movement to erect memorial in Tallahassee honoring the state's Confederate dead. Fundraising efforts were slow, with most donations coming from Perry's own [[Escambia County]]. After his death in [[1899]], only $3,005 had been raised, all but $87 of which from the Pensacola area. | In [[1881]], [[Confederate]] general and future Florida governor [[Edward Aylesworth Perry]] led a movement to erect memorial in Tallahassee honoring the state's Confederate dead.
