Description
Robert E. Lee in War and Peace: A Comprehensive Study of the Iconic Confederate General Through Photographs. For over seven decades, the public's perception of Robert E. Lee has been limited to a handful of familiar images. This meticulously researched book sets out to change that by presenting a sweeping history of Lee's life through 61 photographs, many of which are being published for the first time. Dr. Donald A. Hopkins, a historian and photographer enthusiast, scoured manuscript repositories and private collections across the country to locate every known image of Lee in existence today. The book provides detailed text accompanying these images, as well as biographical sketches of all of Lee's known photographers, shedding new light on the art of antique photography. A standout feature of this book is its definitive attribution of the identity of the photographer behind some of the most iconic Lee images, including a rare imperial-size photograph made by Alexander Gardner.
