I just read an article from the NY Times from Jan. 15, 1865 in which the Times reporter wrote about Lee and what a wonderful military leader he was. It was specifically pointed out that he avoided the limelight and never got involved in politics. The article also reproduced Lee's letter to his Sister lamenting being forced to decide to leave the U.S. Army in favor of his state. I read the letter as the words of an honorable man feeling as if he was being forced to make a decision that would be considered dishonorable, no matter what he decided. While I don't doubt that Lee has been the recipient of postwar revisionism, he appears to have been pretty well thought of before that, by both sides. |

Witness Grant's gentle treatment of him at Appomattox. Even saluted him as he rode back to his army. |
