That's Longstreet I thought? Tillman's statue is up front, closest one to the CSA flag I believe.

Hampton is on horseback. The statue of Tillman is on the Gervais Street side and it's a statue of him standing.
When George Washington Carver was invited to the White House, Tillman was quoted as saying "The streets will have to run red with the blood of 100,000 n*****s before they learn their place again." I may have paraphrased a tiny bit, but the gist (including the racial slur) is there; clearly he was a nice guy.
