One thing I always marveled about Gen. Lee; at his age (mid 60s) he was able to live on campaign with his troops and still be physically effective. I’m sure he had better food and accommodations than the rank and file infantry, but still life in the field for a Confederate commander was a little more rough than staying at a Comfort Inn with no free HBO. This excerpt gives some insight into how he was able to do that.
