The story in pictures of the life of Robert E. Lee.
It is our good fortune that the life of Robert E. Lee, hero of the Confederacy and a giant in American history, coincided with the early years of photography. It is thus possible for Emory M. Thomas, author of the highly acclaimed recent biography of Lee, to assemble a wealth of images that, with engaging and extended captions, give us a picture of the man and his times impossible to render with words alone."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Lee as commander of the Southern army is an imposing vision held by most Americans. But, far less is known about his childhood years; his family and home life; the houses and the cities in which he lived; his early career as a civil engineer, redirecting the flow of the Mississippi River in St. Louis; his stint in the Mexican War; and his tenure as superintendent of West Point. After the Civil War Lee had a third career as president of Washington College (which would be renamed Washington and Lee University). During his life were the early years of photography and many have been captured of him. This book has been divided into 7 sections of his life.
