Synopsis
Ask the average American who their favorite Civil War general is and you will invariably get the name of the blue-coated Union military hero Ulysses S. Grant. Victorian Yankees loved him so much they put his face on their fifty-dollar bill and made him president of the United States - twice. We in the South, however, prefer our Civil War generals in Confederate gray, and none wore it better, or more nobly and prouder, than Robert E. Lee. Whether you are new to the "Great Virginian" or a longtime fan, award-winning Southern historian Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook's bestseller, The Quotable Robert E. Lee: Selections From the Writings and Speeches of the South's Most Beloved Civil War General , will be a revelation. Writers, teachers, scholars, speakers, preachers, lecturers, and historians will find this compact book of literary gems of inestimable value, and history lovers and Civil War buffs will enjoy meandering through both the many Victorian illustrations and the veritable garden of Leeisms. The latter include everything from his private letters and military dispatches, to his personal views on education, child-rearing, Nature, religion, secession, slavery, abolition, and Lincoln's War. While we often learn about famous individuals through dry encyclopedic entries, overly detailed history books, and massively long biographies, in Colonel Seabrook's The Quotable Robert E. Lee we get to know "Marse Robert" - and even relive the Civil War - through his own words, notes, aphorisms, letters, speeches, and field reports. Discover the real Robert E. Lee in the role of son, brother, husband, father, friend, devout Christian, Mexican-American War vet, Civil War general, and president of Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) in this information-packed read. Includes nearly 400 footnoted quotes, a time line of Lee's life and accomplishments, a Lee family tree, unusual Lee family facts, Lee's plan for emancipating and enlisting slaves, a bibliography, and dozens of rare photos and images. The author's copious and detailed notes provide excellent context to the wealth of Lee material. A companion to Colonel Seabrook's equally important work, The Old Rebel: Robert E. Lee As He Was Seen By His Contemporaries , The Quotable Robert E. Lee is the only book of its kind, and is well on its way to becoming a Southern classic. An attractive, unique, affordable, and popular tourist-friendly work that will appeal to both casual Civil War buffs and hardcore Civil War scholars alike. Available in paperback and hardcover. Civil War scholar Lochlainn Seabrook, a descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens and John S. Mosby, is the most prolific and popular pro-South writer in the world today. Known as the "new Shelby Foote," he is a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal and the author of over 50 books that have introduced hundreds of thousands to the truth about the War for Southern Independence. A seventh-generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage and the sixth great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, Colonel Seabrook has a forty-year background in American and Southern history, and is the author of the international blockbuster Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner His other titles include: The Great Yankee Coverup; Confederacy 101; Slavery 101; Confederate Flag Facts; Everything You Were Taught About American Slavery is Wrong, Ask a Southerner ; Women in Gray: A Tribute to the Ladies Who Supported the Southern Confederacy; and Lincoln's War: The Real Cause, the Real Winner, the Real Loser., Ask the average American who their favorite Civil War general is and you will invariably get the name of the blue-coated Union military hero Ulysses S.
