Octavo, gray & blue boards (hardcover), gilt letters, xii + [ci] + 471 pp. Near Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Robert E. Lee was certainly the most heroic figure of the Civil War. But to many, he is a solitary figure, placed upon a pedestal of distant acclaim. The Recollections and Letters fleshes out the man, as well as probing the workings of a great military mind and a warm, understanding and generous human being. Not only a wartime leader of great courage, he was one of the most outspoken proponents of a reasonable peace, a peace which would allow the South to rejoin the Union with dignity and honor. At the end of the war he offered himself up, humbly, asking only to be of use to the country. As President of Washington College (shortly to be renamed Washington and Lee University), he became a driving force for the creation of a viable educational system in the South, one which would train the leaders of the future. Recollections and Letters shows lal these facets of the General, through his correspondence and through the warm and revealing insight supplied by his son. Truly, no other source materials give such a whole and rewarding picture of one of the South's greatest sons and heroes.
