Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Honor of a Lee on a midsummer morning of 1860 two horsemen slowly followed a picturesque road in southeastern Tennessee. That they were strangers in a strange land was apparent from their remarks, for, while they indulged sparingly in conversation, one of them, who had evidently been cast in a finer mould than his companion, commented with enthusiasm on the beauty of the landscape about them or the magnificence of the distant mountain scenery. The other complained garrulously of the glare of the noonday sun or the condition of the highway over which they traveled. Reaching at length a comparatively level stretch of ground, the latter said a trifle impatiently, "Come, Mr. Philip, let's be riding up a bit. Its a pity not to take advantage of this here delightful shady boolyvard." "There's no hurry, Tom," the man addressed as Mr. Philip replied quietly, without making the least show of hastening his journey. "If the business outlook here is as promising as the prospect before us we shall not be long in finding a location." "You've always too great an eye for the looks o' things, Mr. Philip. You'll be marryin' some slip of a lass without a mite o' reason one o' these fine mornin's for the sake o' her bright eye an' her rosy cheek. "I've held my own against such wiles for eight and twenty years, Tom, I shall probably be able to manage a while longer," Mr. Philip returned good-naturedly.

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 The Soul of Lee The purpose of this little volume is to give in brief compass an epitome of the life and the campaigns of General Robert E. Lee, with sufficient detail, however, to convey a true impression of his genius as a soldier and his exalted character as a man. The author believes that at this crisis when our young men are offering their strength and their lives in the greatest struggle for liberty and democracy the world has ever seen, a study of the life and character of Lee cannot but be an inspiration. For the great Southern leader was more than a Southerner - he was an American; and the time has come when the whole country may take an honest pride in his military genius and in the high ideals which governed him in his campaigns, while the study of those campaigns may well arouse the emulation of the young soldiers of our new national army as they mark the splendid valor and constancy of the men who fought in both the Union and the Confederate armies more than fifty years ago.

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.

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 Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Military Historical Society of Massachusetts: 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 The Letters of Richard Henry Lee Vol 2 written by James Curtis Ballagh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Letters of Richard Henry Lee, Vol. 2: 1779-1794 Lee gives very different reasons from those some times assigned for his declining the proffered honor of representing his state in the Federal Convention. Suggestions also to its delegates, such as, that the right of making paper money Shall be exclusively vested in Congress, indicate his desire to aid their work. Later he expressed the belief that a practical improvement of our federal Constitution would come from the Convention, and of the plan it produced he wrote, This Constitution has a great many excel lent regulations in it, and if it could be reasonably amended would be a fine system. The proposals for amendment that Lee made to Congress when it was considering the Constitution are here (pp. 442 n. - 444. N.) printed for the first time from an original draft found in the interesting Shippen Collection. During the struggle for ratification he was urging adoption of the Constitution with amend ments, and opposing the proposals for rejection and a new convention. He sought his appointment to the United States Senate that he might fight for his cherished Bill of Rights and other amendments. Lee's interest in foreign relations was keen, and it is appropriate that the final letter of the volume Should be to Washington, approving his policy of neutrality and peace. Gratefully the editor acknowledges his obligation to those mentioned in the preface of the first volume for past and continued aid to his work. Appreciation and thanks are also expressed to Professor George Petrie, Dean of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, to Dr. Charles 0. Paullin of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and to Mr. Joseph Sabin of New York for suggesting or presenting additional letters of Lee.

Lee, Soldier, Patriot, Educator: With Special Reference to His Life and Services at Washington and Lee University Lexington, Va Washington And Lee! What thrilling days, dazzling in splendor, these names revive; what romantic glamour surrounds them; what potent stimulant to youthful ambition; what blessing and benediction to all who cherish liberty, and through it honor purity of motive, and devotion to duty! Washington and Lee! Spiritual father and son were these most eminent Virginians, Southrons, citizens of the world, and a psychic influence seems to have directed them through almost identical physical mold and closely paralleling environment. Both of gentle English origin; born in the county of Westmoreland, Virginia; shortly deprived of a fathers guiding counsel; reared under a mothers influence; early adopting the profession of arms; quickly attaining first rank among military men of their day; brilliant commanders of the greatest soldiers of all times; retiring into humbler calling with the serenity of bearing that is the emblem of real greatness. Washington, the exquisite refinement of Colonial purity, prototype and forecast of Lee, the perfect flower of a civilization that all America emulates today. Washington and Lee! At the boundary line of the great University of Washington and Lee, Lexington, Virginia, one approaches a shrine of sacred memories that has no counterpart in America.
