Four
Years With General Lee
by Walter Taylor, James Robertson
Hardcover (1996)
Paperback (1996)
Colonel Taylor was the Adjutant-General of the Army of
Northern Virginia, and Lee's right-hand man at Headquarters. Most of the
orders and dispatches went out in Taylor's handwriting, and he was uniquely positioned to
observe Lee's thinking and generalship close-up. In addition, Taylor was
responsible for the "returns" (manpower statistics), and so is able to correlate
the accounts of campaigns and battles with the actual strength of Confederate forces.
The conclusion is inescapable: few military commanders have done more, with
less, than Lee, and fewer still can have emerged with his reputation as a human
being. The book concludes with the Address on the Character of General
R.E.
Lee, by Captain John Hampden Chamberlayne, delivered in 1876, which is a fine analysis on
the career and character of the great General.
