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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Campaigns of General Robert E. Lee I have been led to the preparation of this work by a desire to collect in a useful and convenient form a history of the achievements of the great soldier, recently at the head of the armies of the South; and as he is endeared to his countrymen chiefly by his connection with them in the gallant struggle which has just closed, I have devoted the greater part of these pages to that portion of his life, passing over the preceding with as little delay as possible. I have brought to the execution of this task a sincere desire to lay aside the feelings engendered by four years of war, and to investigate fully, and discuss impartially and truthfully, the topics that are presented in this volume. I have spared no pains to render my sources of information as complete as possible. In May 1861, I commenced to collect such papers and documents, both official and unofficial, relating to the war, as I could procure. To this task, begun for a purpose not altogether different from that to which I have now applied it, I devoted the entire period of the war, and was aided in it by many members of the various branches of the Confederate Government and of the army. In this way I secured an extensive and valuable collection of materials for a history of the war, or biographies of the individuals connected with it; a collection embracing over fifteen thousand papers of all kinds, to which, through the kindness of friends, I have been able to add many valuable maps and charts.

Lee There was Visiting us at this time Mrs. Lippitt, a friend Of my mother's, with her little boy, Armistead, about my age and size, also with long curls. Whether he wore as handsome a suit as mine I cannot remember, but he and I were left together in the background, feeling rather frightened and awed.

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: "In this volume the attempt has been made to imperfectly supply the great desire to have something from Robert E. Lee's pen, by introducing, at the periods referred to, such extracts from his private letters as would be of great interest. He is thus made, for the first time, to give his impressions and opinions on most of the great events with which he was so closely connected"--Preface.

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.

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.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Robert E. Lee, for Boys and Girls This book is written with the hope that through it the life and character of Lee may become more real to the generation of young Americans now growing up. His was a life worthy of study by all young people, particularly those who are Americans. In the happy day to which we are now come, when the division between the sections, for years past one of sentiment alone, is fast disappearing, the Nation as a whole pays tribute to the lofty character, the sturdy Americanism, and the essential greatness of Robert Edward Lee no less than to that of Abraham Lincoln. If this little book, by making better known the character and purity of motive of Lee and those he represented, may in some degree hasten the time when the last trace of bitterness between the North and South shall have disappeared, the authors will feel that it has well fulfilled its purpose. There is a certain appropriateness in the year of its appearance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
