This is an amazing book! Robert E. Lee was a wonderful man, a role model for every boy on earth. His story is told with moving words, humorous quotes, and old photos, maps, and drawings. While reading about the battle of Gettysburg, a Confederate defeat, when Lee went out to comfort his retreating men and took all the blame for their defeat on himself, I actually cried. This was the first time I ever cried while reading a biography. I highly recommend this book to anyone learning about the Civil War or Robert E. Lee. I also recommend reading it if you are interested in learning more about the life of this awesome man. Please read it!
