A comprehensive young adult biography of the life of one of the most mythologized men in American and Civil War history- General Lee of the Confederate States Army

Robert E. Lee’s life was filled with responsibility and loyalty. Born to a Revolutionary War hero, Lee learned a sense of duty and restraint after weathering scandals brought on by his father and eldest brother. He found the perfect way to channel this sense of duty at West Point, where he spent his days under rigorous teachers who taught him the organizational skills and discipline he would apply for the rest of his life. The military became Lee’s life- he was often away from his beloved family, making strides with the Army, forcibly expanding the United States toward the Western coastline, and fighting theMexican-American War. And ultimately, the military and his defining role therein-General of the Confederate Army-would prove to be Lee’s legacy.

Author Brandon Marie Miller separates fact from fiction and reveals the complex truth behind who Lee was as a person, a soldier, a general, and a father. The book includes numerous archival images, as well as original quotations, a timeline, an author’s note, a family tree, source notes, a bibliography, and an index.
