Summary "Recollections and Letters of General Robert E. Lee" by Robert E. Lee's son is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This work provides an intimate look into the life and character of General Robert E. Lee through the eyes of his son, detailing his military career, personal experiences, and family life. At the start of the book, the narrative begins with vivid recollections of the author's father’s return from the Mexican War, painting a picture of young Robert E. Lee’s admiration and awe for his father. The opening portion discusses personal anecdotes, including family interactions and pets, which highlight Lee's affection for his family. It also outlines notable military milestones of Lee's early career, such as his roles in the U.S. Army and the challenges faced during the turbulent period leading up to the Civil War. Through heartfelt reflections and letters, the text sets the stage for understanding Lee not just as a military leader, but as a devoted family man influenced deeply by his experiences both at home and on the battlefield.
