I don't know who you are...but I love you. I am a Army of Northen Virginia historian especially Stonewall Jackson and the Stonewall Brigade.

Please tell me a little more about yourself.

Lee graduated in 1829, the same year that the more common 2nd edition of Rawle's book was published. I doubt Lee ever even heard of Rawle, much less read his book.
