Publisher's Synopsis
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 con?ict, and whose life-story is throughout so attractive and inspiring.
