Anne;
You apparently need to read more biographies of REL. There has yet to be the
historian who has been able to come up with any shocking revelations about
him. The Making of Robert E Lee by Fellman was an attempt to dig up the dirt
on REL, but all he was able to come up with was the fact that Lee liked to
flirt with younger women at social events. No, a few great men meet the test
of time. Lincoln wasn't one of them, however.
