Hardbound. Condition: Fair. Reprint Edition. Description: This was originally published in 1906. Frontis portrait with two additional portraits. The author declares in his preface ''It was by proud privilege to know Genera Lee in war and in peace, and to enjoy some peculiar facilities for studying his life and character. I think I may, without improper egotism, claim some qualification for writing of him as he really was. In the Army I came in somewhat frequent contact with him, but when he was President of Washington College from October 1865 to October 1870, I was one of his chaplains, and came into almost daily association with him making it my business as it was my great pleasure, to study those noble traits which made him grander in peace than in war. I was one of that band of loving hands who bore him to the tomb, when two continents mourned his death, and I had the honor of being selected by Mrs. Lee and the faculty of the College to edit the 'Lee Memorial Volume'. When the publication of that book was abandoned I was encouraged and authorized to publish this and was given free access to General Lee's private letters and papers and from that day I have carefully studied and preserved anything concerning him that has been published. I come, then to my present task with full knowledge of my subject and with warm and loving heart, desiring to present Lee to the world as I knew, and honored, and loved him myself.''
