Lee is a man who stands on his own. Any review of his personal writings and personal accounts with Lee reveal an upstanding gentleman bound by a sense of honor and duty.

Revisionist authors from PA who write books to smear his good name could not hold General Lee's knickers. He was more man than most of us could ever imagine.

God Bless General Robert E. Lee!

i think this guy is just mad because the north didn't have a general lee, so he now wants to downplay him.

I'm not sure he smeared the general's good name. He didn't call him a wife-beater or a closet drinker or a womanizer. I don't think that anyone can deny that Robert E. Lee was a upstanding gentleman. He had his faults, his temper for one, and he admitted to them and worked to control them all his life. But saying that Lee wasn't the best general of the war is not smearing him. That's expressing an opinion, one which I share. I think Lee was in the top three of generals, but not number one.

I guess on the other hand this turd author Gamboner won't tell you about what a butcher Grant was, using the same tactics as Lee. The tactics of the day were Napoloeonic type tactics which involved mass movement, mass charges, and frontal assaults. This author's claim that Lee was an "average" leader is just plain horsesh*t! Lee was a great general listed among the top 100 Military leaders of all time, the only reason he's ranked lower than the top 20 is because he fought for the Confederacy. You don't get into this elite class of men by being "average".

This author is nothing more than a hack and I wouldn't give him the relief of pissing in his mouth if his teeth were on fire!
