Try Charles Bracelen Flood's, "Lee, The Last Years" for a different view
into Lee's post-war years.  It deals entirely with his immediate post-war
poverty and his tenure at Washington College (now Washington & Lee
University).  While many of us honor Lee for his generalship, his
peacemaking following the war is not well known.

Question from a customer..... I'd appreciate your comments here as I
haven't read anything lately.



Can you give me the title of what is/are considered the best of Lee's
bios?
