The Marble Man: Robert E. Lee and His Image in American Society

Robert E. Lee was both a military genius and a spiritual leader, considered by many — southerners and nonsoutherners alike — to have been a near saint. In The Marble Man a leading Civil War military historian examines the hold of Lee on the American mind and traces the campaign in historiography that elevated him to national hero status.
