Overview

Excerpt from Robert E. Lee: A Story and a Play The boy's father was one of the most gallant of the gentlemen, for he was Light Horse Harry of Revolutionary War fame. He it was who said of Washington, First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. Mr. Lee did not realize, then, how many people would apply this same remark to his own son. NO doubt little Robert got in and out Of as many scrapes as any other active little boy, but all the time he was hard at work learning to control his temper. I started to say he was learning to be a gentleman, but that was something he did not have to learn. A gentleman he was by nature, as the Lees of Virginia had been for generations.
