Civil War Secrets: Robert E. Lee's Unpublished Letters and Recollections

"I hope, in time, peace will be restored to the country, and that the South may enjoy some measure of prosperity.”
-Excerpt from Lee’s letter to General Early, March 16th, 1865
These recollections and letters of General Robert E. Lee were selected and arranged for publication by his son, Captain Robert E. Lee. The personal nature of this collection makes it invaluable in understanding the many facets of General Robert E. Lee - the brilliant Confederate General, the dedicated husband and father, the guiding leader in the post-War South, the teacher and humble college President. Originally published in 1924, this edition includes an introduction by Gamaliel Bradford, author of LEE: The American. Indexed with an Appendix of additional material gathered by William Taylor Thom, a student at Washington College when General Lee was the president of that institution.
