Reading the Man: A Portrait of Robert E. Lee Through His Private Letters Paperback - 2008
by Elizabeth Brown Pryor
For the 200th anniversary of Robert E. Lee's birth, this new portrait draws on previously unpublished correspondence to reveal a more intimate look at his personality, relationships, and the social climate of his time. Pryor's book is a unique blend of analysis, narrative, and historiography.
Summary
To most , Robert E. Lee is a beloved tragic figure of a bygone warremembered by history as stoic and brave but without a true emotional life. Recently, however, historian Elizabeth Brown Pryor uncovered important documents that provide a stunning personal account of Lee’s military ability, his beliefs, and his time. Using dozens of previously unpublished letters as departure points, Pryor sheds new light on every aspect of this complex and contradictory general and questions our own understanding of loyalty and patriotism. This tantalizing glimpse of a legendary hero’s guarded soul will astonish and fascinate not only Civil War buffs, but anyone interested in this nation’s history.
