Recollections and Letters of General Robert. E. Lee

His successes against an army three times the size of his own are justly renowned, and his campaigns are still studied as models of strategy and tactics, but there is a side of Robert E. Lee that few people in our century know. He was a brilliant military commander revered by his men, but he was also a loving husband and father, and an example to his entire generation and generations to come. General Lee's youngest son, Robert, compiled this extraordinay volume of letters from his father to family members and others, dating from the Mexican War until the General's death, and also provides intimate reminiscences of the man behind the uniform and his devotion to his wife and children. A wonderful book for Military and historical enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to know more about this famous and enigmatic man. This New Albion Press edition is illustrated with 19 photographs and other illustrations, and can be annotated, searched, and highlighted by the reader.
