1756 1818 Brilliant Cavalry Governor Revolutionary Virginia
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the essence of General Henry Lee, a pivotal figure in American history during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born in 1756 in Virginia, Lee rose to prominence as a brilliant cavalry officer in the Revolutionary War under the command of General George Washington. His military prowess and strategic acumen earned him the nickname "Light-Horse Harry," a moniker that would follow him throughout his illustrious career. Following the war, Lee turned his attention to politics, serving as the Governor of Virginia from 1791 to 1794. During his tenure, he worked to improve the state's infrastructure and economy, as well as advocating for the rights of veterans. Perhaps most notably, Lee is the father of Robert E. Lee, the famous Confederate general who led the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. Despite their political differences, the elder Lee remained a devoted father and mentor to his son, instilling in him a strong sense of duty and honor. This image, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, showcases General Henry Lee in his later years, with a stern yet thoughtful expression. His military uniform, adorned with medals and ribbons, serves as a testament to his remarkable military career and enduring legacy. Henry Lee's life spanned a pivotal period in American history, and his contributions to the Revolutionary War and as a governor of Virginia continue to be celebrated today. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a crucial role in shaping the course of American history.
