Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Robert E. Lee, Man and Soldier I desire, however, to signalize certain authorities whose masterly Studies have been found generally so accurate as to appear conclusive on the subjects of which they have treated. These are Mr. John C. Ropes' Story of the Civil War, Colonel William Allan's Army of Northern Virginia, Colonel G. F. R. Henderson's Life of Stonewall Jackson, Major John Bigelow, Jr.'s, Campaign of Chancellorsville (the most complete and authoritative history of any battle ever fought on American soil), and finally, Gen eral A. A. Humphreys' The Virginia Campaign of '64 and '65. These I have often followed closely and, though I have not always adopted their conclusions, I desire to record my indebtedness to them in the fullest possible way.

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 attractive 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 historical 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 identified with the great conflict, and whose life-story is throughout so attractive and inspiring. The era is now passed when, in the North, Confederates and their sympathizers were hotly stigmatized as "rebels," and when their attitude and their cause were aspersed as hateful as well as treasonable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Letters of Robert Edward Lee: Soldier and Man It is not my purpose in this book to treat Of the great war between the States, its causes, its conduct, or its results. Nor can I treat fully, in the space I shall use, Of Lee the soldier, or Lee the man. But as it was my proud privilege to know General Lee in war and in peace, and to enjoy some peculiar facilities for studying his life and character, I think I may, without improper egotism, claim some qualifications for writing Of him as he really was.

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 Robert E Lee and Me written by Ty Seidule and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ty Seidule scorches us with the truth and rivets us with his fierce sense of moral urgency." --Ron Chernow In a forceful but humane narrative, former soldier and head of the West Point history department Ty Seidule's Robert E. Lee and Me challenges the myths and lies of the Confederate legacy—and explores why some of this country’s oldest wounds have never healed. Ty Seidule grew up revering Robert E. Lee. From his southern childhood to his service in the U.S. Army, every part of his life reinforced the Lost Cause myth: that Lee was the greatest man who ever lived, and that the Confederates were underdogs who lost the Civil War with honor. Now, as a retired brigadier general and Professor Emeritus of History at West Point, his view has radically changed. From a soldier, a scholar, and a southerner, Ty Seidule believes that American history demands a reckoning. In a unique blend of history and reflection, Seidule deconstructs the truth about the Confederacy—that its undisputed primary goal was the subjugation and enslavement of Black Americans—and directly challenges the idea of honoring those who labored to preserve that system and committed treason in their failed attempt to achieve it. Through the arc of Seidule’s own life, as well as the culture that formed him, he seeks a path to understanding why the facts of the Civil War have remained buried beneath layers of myth and even outright lies—and how they embody a cultural gulf that separates millions of Americans to this day. Part history lecture, part meditation on the Civil War and its fallout, and part memoir, Robert E. Lee and Me challenges the deeply-held legends and myths of the Confederacy—and provides a surprising interpretation of essential truths that our country still has a difficult time articulating and accepting.

This book was released on 2019-01-19 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Robert E. Lee, the Christian Soldier In 1542, Richard Lee accompanied the Earl of Surry in his unfortunate expedition across the Scot tish border. Two of the family are found about the same time to have so distinguished themselves as to have their banners suspended in St. George's Chapel, in Windsor Castle, with the Lee coat of arms about them. These incidents Show that the blood of our hero was as valiant as it was virtuous, and the motto which accompanied the coat of arms of his ancestors, Non [mommy seems, says one of his biographers, to have been descriptive of one of the traits of their great descendant.
