Indeed, I have read a couple of books about this truly remarkable man. The honor he held is a foreign concept in today’s society. God rest his soul.
Whether Gen. Lee was one of our greatest generals is open to argument. (I’m on the “Yes” side.) Whether he was a man of, as the book says, “Sterling Nobility,” is not up for argument. Anyone who chooses Robert E. Lee as a role model can’t go wrong.
He was a man of honor—respected by friend and foe alike. I believe—if the CSA had won—he would have become the second president of the Confederacy—and I believe he would have Freed the slaves!
