George Stoneman - in Memoriam

In Memoriam

Stoneman has been memorialized by songwriter Robbie Robertson of The Band, whose 1969 rock and roll song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" referred to one of Stoneman's 1865 raids:

Stoneman is not mentioned in some Joan Baez recordings of the song; her interpretation sometimes substitutes "so much" for "Stoneman's."

Stoneman Avenue in Alhambra, California, was named in his honor. Camp Stoneman, near Pittsburg, California, was the place from where many soldiers shipped out to the Pacific Theater in World War II and the Korean War, and is remembered by Stoneman Elementary School. Stoneman Elementary School in San Marino, California, is built on Stoneman's Los Robles Ranch Property. Stoneman Bridge, in Yosemite Valley, is named in his honor.
