Reviews


(5 stars)

A beautiful book that shows the deep character of a most noble & complete man that refused to take up his sword against the people of his home state of Virginia & his family. It is woven through with his denying of himself for others & even his care and kindness of his horses & cattle.


(5 stars)

CSA General Robert E. Lee was truly a great man. This book reflects on his kind demeanor & brilliant mind.
