Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Lee The occasion has been embraced to express the uni versal regret that General Lee never wrote anything concerning his career and campaigns. His statements would have settled conflicting opinions on all subjects contained therein. We know that it was his intention to record the deeds of his soldiers, but not to write his personal memoirs. He waited for a convenient sea son, and waited too long. In this volume the attempt has been made to imperfectly supply the great desire to have something from Robert E. Lee's. Pen, by introduc ing, at the periods referred to, such extracts from his private letters as would be of general interest. He is thus made, for the first time, to give his impressions and Opinions on most ofothe great events with which he was so closely connected. Except in a few instances, the scope of the book has not permitted the tactical details of the battlefield, or the mention by name of many of the officers and organizations whose superb courage.

Download or read book The Life and Campaigns of General Lee Classic Reprint written by Edward Lee Childe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Campaigns of General Lee The same motive which animated the author in writing a life of his uncle, has animated the translator in rendering that life into English. It is not well that the memory of a man like General Lee should fade away without the world being made acquainted with his character and Virtues. This must be the translator's plea to justify him in the course he has taken. He is well aware of the existence of more than one life of General Lee, compiled in English; but they were written by Americans, published in America, and, therefore, are more or less imbued with the American style and mode of feeling. So far, they are unsuitable to European taste. They are, besides, long, and somewhat tiresome in their description Of battles, and in their general minuteness of details.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Lee, His Campaigns in Virginia: 1861-1865; With Personal Reminiscences Nearly thirty years ago I ventured to publish Four Years with General Lee, in which my primary Object was to assist in establishing the fact of the great numerical Odds against which the army under General Lee had to contend in its encounters with the Federal armies opposed to it. General Lee had expressed a purpose to do this, and after his death, before its accomplishment, the duty seemed logically to devolve upon me.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Lee at Gettysburg: A Paper Read Before the Military Historical Society of Massachusetts, on the Fourth of April, 1905 Last year I had the pleasure to read before this Society a paper on Stonewall Jackson at Chancellorsville. As you have done me the honor to ask me to return to Boston and to this platform, -.i. Have thought to read to you a companion paper on General Lee at Gettysburg. I am aware that this is an ambitious theme, because of the very critical hour in American history which it brings before us, and because so much has been written apparently from every possible standpoint. Yet it has seemed to me that I might make my own contribution to the literature of the subject, or, at least, afford you an evening's entertainment. You will not be surprised that the story I am to tell is from the Confederate side, and may be the more interesting that it is less familiar.

Download or read book General Robert E Lee After Appomattox Classic Reprint written by Franklin L. Riley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Robert E. Lee After Appomattox The responses to these appeals were hearty and gen erous, though it was impossible to overcome the handi cap of a fifty years' delay in the prosecution of the work. It is safe to say that the contributions obtained in this way will perhaps be the last to be had from this source. They constitute a large part of the contents of this volume. Unfortunately, many alumni of this unique period had passed away before a systematic errt was made to gather and preserve their reminiscences for the benefit of future generations. At least two of the contributors to this volume, Mr. F. A. Berlin and Rev. Robert H. Fleming, have died since the inauguration of this work. In the course of a few more years the last of this honored group, who heard the voice and observed the daily movements of our great President, will cease to bear living testimony to his memory, and the record will be closed. The contents of this volume have also been enriched by the reproduction of valuable contributions which have appeared from time to time in ephemeral publica tions. Documents of this class were written either by members of General Lee's faculty or by others who came in personal contact with him after the war. Two brief extracts have been taken from standard biogra phies of General Lee, because the volumes from which they were taken are now out of print.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Robert E. Lee: His Military and Personal History To overcome the inactivity to which loss of sight has for some years subjected me, I have sought occupation in record ing the recollection of familiar events. Having obtained a slate prepared for the use of the blind, I soon learned to write with a moderate degree of legibility. In order to excite a pleasing interest in my work, I undertook something that might prove of future benefit. Having served on General Lee's personal stafl' during the most important period of his military career, I began an eye-witness narrative of his cam paigns in the war between the States. In the execution of my work I received valuable assistance from my wife and daughter, my two sons, and Miss Lucy Shackelford (now Mrs. Charles Walker), all of whom lovingly and faithfully served me as copyists and readers. I am also indebted to Colonel C. S. Venable of General Lee's stafi', Major Green Peyton of Rodes's staff, and Major S. V. Southall of my own staff, for indispensable aid in reviewing my manuscript, informing me of facts that had not come to my knowledge or reminding me of such as had escaped my recollection. My work is now completed, and I offer it to the public, hoping it may prove of value as a record of events which passed under my own observation, and many of which have been described directly from my notes made at the time of their occurrence. It is not intended to be a history of the war in detail, but a state ment of my personal knowledge of General Lee's life, actions, and character, and of the part played by him in the great events of which he was the ruling spirit.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Memoirs of the Late Major General Lee, Second in Command to General Washington During the American Revolution, to Which Are Added His Political and Military Essays The family of the Lees is both ancient and respectable, many of them having had connections and intermarriages with the principal families in the English nation; and, from a pedigree done for Mr. Thomas Lee, distributor and collector of the stamp-duties for the county and city of Chester, North Wales, we learn that the General's father was John Lee of Dernhall, in the said county, who was some time a Captain of Dragoons, afterwards Lieutenant Colonel of General Barrel's regiment from 1717 to 1742, at which time he was promoted to a regiment of Foot. He married Isabella, second daughter of Sir Henry Bunbury, of Stanney, in the county of Chester, Baronet: by this lady he had three sons, Thomas, Harry, and Charles, the youngest, who is the subject of these memoirs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of General Robert E. Lee Though more than a generation has now elapsed since General Robert E. Lee passed from the scenes of his illustrious deeds, public interest in the great soldier and his career is still active, and turns with increasing curiosity to any attrac tive recital of the incidents in his eventful life many as are the biographies that have already been published of him. Nor is this perennial interest in the loved hero of a Lost Cause to be wondered at, when we recall not only the bistori cal importance of the long struggle in which he so nobly fought, and against such heavy odds but the remarkable military ability and eminently high character of the man whose career is identi fied with the great conflict, and whose life-story is throughout so attractive and inspiring.
