I never really did think much of the Confederate general until I picked up this book. Even though the war was long and arduous, the man made time to write letters to his wife. When I read his letters, I could sense his love and concern for her health and well-being. I admire his loyalty to his family as well as his devotion to his country. He demonstrated many fine qualities as a military leader and later as college president. This is definitely worth reading. I think you will find your respect for this man growing with every page!

Robert E. Lee is one of the most famous and decorated American generals in history. The son of Revolutionary War hero Henry 'Light Horse Harry' Lee III, General Lee was a native of Virginia and a top graduate at West Point. So distinguished was Lee, that President Abraham Lincoln offered him command of the entire Union army before the onset of the Civil War. Lee famously declined the offer, and instead served his home state of Virginia after it seceded. His closeness with his soldiers as well as his leadership came to personify the South. Here, in a collection of personal correspondence compiled by his son, Captain Robert E. Lee, the man behind the uniform is revealed. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
