EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures General Robert E. Lee in the later years of his life, around 1870. The image shows Lee in a thoughtful and introspective pose, with a serious expression on his face and piercing gaze. He is dressed in a formal suit and wears a bow tie, adding an air of sophistication to the portrait. Lee, a native of Virginia, rose to prominence in the United States Army before becoming a Confederate general during the American Civil War. He is best known for his military genius and strategic brilliance, particularly in his victories at the First Battle of Bull Run, the Seven Days Battles, and the Second Battle of Manassas. Despite his military success, Lee is also remembered for his honorable conduct and his commitment to the principles of states' rights and limited federal government. After the war, Lee returned to civilian life and became president of Washington College in Lexington, Virginia. He is shown here in his role as college president, surrounded by books and academic regalia. The photograph was likely taken in his office at the college, which served as a reminder of his dedication to education and the pursuit of knowledge. Despite the passage of time and the controversies surrounding his military career, Lee remains a figure of great historical significance. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a complex and influential figure, who continues to fascinate and inspire generations of Americans.
