About This Item
In the fall of 1861 Gen. Robert E. Lee arrives in the mountains of western Virginia (now West Virginia) to take command of the Confederate forces. He finds not only logistical problems caused by the terrain, but feuding between his two generals, John Floyd and Henry A. Wise.
Lee will be required to bring his diplomatic skills to bear, along with his military skils. Assisting him is his trusted aide, Walter H. Taylor.
With some never before published photos, Taylor comes to life as Lee's indespensable aide and friend.
During this fall season in the mountains, Lee will grow a beard that becomes a trademark of the great man in wartime photos. He also finds his beloved horse, Traveller, raised in Greenbrier County and purchased for $200. Here is recoun ted the history of this great horse. Lee loved him at first sight.
This is the book devoted to this long-forgotten campaign of General Lee. Many personal accounts of the men on both sides bring this conflict in the mountains alive.
