Out of a nation of over 300 million people today, I doubt that there are even 10 people currently living here who could measure up to GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE.
If you found 10 I would probably drop dead of a heart attack.
General Lee’s contemporaries on both sides held him in the highest esteem. Millions of Southern boys (mine included) were and are named for him. I am glad I had the opportunity to visit his tomb. Will they destroy it and the magnificent statue that is above it? Is Traveller to be disinterred and his bones scattered about. This is almost too much for a Southern heart to bear.
