Bibliographical reference: Robert Krick NEALE BOOKS; AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY #454 "The primary announced purpose of this volume-to present a life of Lee-is brought off in a rather undistinguished fashion, by means of seven enthusiastic and partisan essays. What seems to have been universally overlooked or ignored are the very interesting personal recollections of Shepard [sic] himself, covering pre-war life at the North Carolina Military Institute and at the University of Virginia, and his war experiences in the 43rd North Carolina Infantry.".
