LEE CONSIDERED : GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE AND CIVIL WAR HISTORY
Nolan, Alan T.
02868903 Hard Cover. NEW/NEW Book Jacket. OUT-OF-PRINT. 6 x 9". Of all the heroes produced by the Civil War - General Robert E. Lee is the most revered -- and perhaps the most misunderstood. In this 230 page volume, the author gives a rigorous re-examinatin of familiar and long-available historical sources, including Lee's personal & official correspondence and the alrge body of writings about Lee. ..Looking at this evidencve in a cricital way, Nolan concludes that there is little truth to the dogmas traditionally set gforth about Lee and the War! ..Nolan finds many interpretations of Civil War history to be UNHISTORIC; what is customarily viewed as Civil War history is, in fact, LEGEND. And Robert E. Lee, as a leading figure in the war, is a creature of that legend. About the Author: An Indianapolis lawyer, a Fellow of the Company of Military Historians, a Trustee of the Indiana Historical Society, and a member of the Indianapolis Civil War Round Table. .. Chapel Hill, NC, U.S.A.: University of North Carolina Press, 1991
