Robert E. Lee: Character and Valor

By Rod Gragg

Robert E. Lee was an embodiment of the Old South. The admired commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia was respected by his troops as well as his enemies. From his childhood through his years at West Point until his death, Lee lived his life by a code of honor. He relied on this code during many difficult decisions, including his commitment to join the Confederacy rather than the Union.

Lee's high regard for duty, leadership, and responsibility, balanced by his humility, faith, and self-control, melded together to create a legendary character. The wisdom he bestowed, advice he gave, and his deep and lasting impression on those around him are held in this treasury of quotations. Lee's strong beliefs and high standards have outlived the man himself and lasted for generations, which is the mark of a truly great man.
