A tintype photograph of Confederate General Robert E. Lee is seen in an undated photo
My brother has always wondered (I too have wondered to a lesser extent) why Lee wore a Confederate Colonel’s uniform? Why? Any history buff out there know the answer?
Tintypes are one-of-a-kind. Somebody didn’t know.
A decent number of ferrotype photographs were taken of Lee, but not that many.
may God bless the memory of Robert E. Lee and that of Thomas Jackson too . They will both be remembered forever and ever , as long as breathe fills the true Southron heart .
ps: shame on the Lexington VA. City Counsel
A lady friend of mine is a direct Lee descendant. She has the same eyes and nose.
