Excerpt from The Life of Gen. Robert E. Lee: For Children, in Easy Words, Illustrated With Colored Plates This is undoubtedly the "Children's Age." Everything possible is being done by parents and educators to interest and instruct the little ones. We can find no better way to advance primary education and to impress upon children principles of morality than to place before them, in interesting story, the careers of our great men. To this end I have written these simple annals of our greatest hero. Our school histories make only brief mention of him, and histories of his life written for grown folks are too difficult for the average child to comprehend. So I trust that this little book will meet the imperative need of the times, and imprint indelibly upon the minds of the rising generation the noble character and wonderful deeds of Robert E. Lee. In compiling this work, I have consulted General Fitzhugh Lee's "Life of Lee" and Rev. J. William Jones's "Personal Reminiscences of General Robert E. Lee."
