Robert E. Lee
Robert E. Lee is one of the most famous and decorated American generals in history. The son of Revolutionary War hero Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee III, General Lee was a native of Virginia and a top graduate at West Point. So distinguished was Lee that President Abraham Lincoln offered him command of the entire Union army before the onset of the Civil War. Lee famously declined the offer and instead served his home state of Virginia after it seceded. His closeness with his soldiers as well as his leadership came to personify the South.
Here, in a collection of personal correspondence compiled by his son, Captain Robert E. Lee, the man behind the uniform, is revealed.

His treatment of his pets surprised me. I think the way in which he loved and treated them as people almost modernized him for me.
On slave issues and even his feelings about freedman, he was a product of his times and environment. Yet even in this he seems softer than many, if not most, of his contemporaries. If you, like some of my southern acquaintances, are looking for a progressive southerner, you'll find it only by relative comparisons. He freed his slaves during the war to honor a Will. Later he eschewed employing freed blacks on his son's farm.
And yet you still come away respecting this great general who not only fought well in war, but fought well to encourage peace when it was over.
