Recollections and Letters of General Robert E. Lee
Recollections and Letters of General Robert E. Lee, published in 1904, was compiled by his son, Captain Robert E. Lee, who served in the Confederate army as a private and later as an officer. Built around Lee's letters to his wife, daughters and sons, it follows him from his service in the United States Army and his resignation to join Virginia, through the war seen largely from the family's point of view, to the surrender and the years after it, when he became president of Washington College in Lexington, Virginia, until his death in 1870. The book is a devoted son's portrait, valuable mainly for its letters and family detail rather than military history. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
