Lee graduated second in his class at West Point, wonder who graduated first?

Let's not forget that Lee was offered the command of the whole Union Army

One of the great tragedies of history is there will never be a decent biography of Robert E. Lee. No sooner than the war ended people began the process of marblizing Lee to the point that any real information that would reveal the man was layered over with patinas of hagiography and adoration. Since Lee never wrote his own autobiography and those near him were utterly enthralled, there will never be a decent bio of Lee.
