Robert E Lee 1ed Confederate Campaigns CIVIL WAR Virginia MAPS McCabe
“It is well
that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it.”
– Robert E. Lee
Following the American Civil War,
several biographical sketches were furiously published on the lives and
military involvement of notable war heroes, officers, and battles from the
Civil War. No other confederate officer was more widely studied than Robert E.
Lee.
James Dabney McCabe Jr, a Confederate
supporter, was a prolific writer on a variety of subjects. His “Life and Campaigns of General Robert E. Lee”
was first published during Lee’s life, just a year after his surrender. Per
Nevins,
“More
campaigns than life; the author attempted to present the events of the war in a
fair and dispassionate manner.”
