  Life & Letters of Gen. Robert Edward Lee
Price: $21.00
By Dr. J. W. Jones
When Robert E. Lee died, the London Standard wrote that "A country that has given birth to men like him, and those who followed him, may look the chivalry of Europe in the face without shame; for [England and the American North] never produced a nobler soldier, gentleman, and Christian than Gen. Robert E. Lee."
For generations, Lee was known as such by both sides of the conflict that tore the nation in two. North and South united in acknowledging him to be, as the Rev. William Jones says in this Life and Letters of Gen. Robert E. Lee, "one of the finest specimens of the soldier and the man whom God ever gave to bless the world."
Learn more about the history of one of Virginia's most well-known men in this biography of his life. Dr. J. W. Jones, a contemporary of Lee, both served with him during the Civil War and worked with him as a chaplain at Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) during Lee's tenure as its president.
