Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Life of Gen. Robert E. Lee
He had lived, as he died, with this supreme trust in an overruling and merciful Providence: and this sentiment, pervading his whole being, was the origin Of that august calmness with which he greeted the most crushing disasters of his military career. His faith and humble trust sustained him after the war, when the woes of the South wellnigh broke his great spirit; and he calmly expired, as a weary child falls asleep, knowing that its father is near.
