If you're a
fan of Robert E. Lee, you may have visited Chancellorsville or
Gettysburg or Appomattox or Lexington, where the general is buried.
But chances
are you don't know how to get to Stratford Hall, where Lee was born. And
you've probably never been to the spot where Lee and Longstreet put
themselves in a position to be easily captured by the Federals, or the
home where Lee was narrowly missed by a cannonball while drinking a
glass of buttermilk, or the fort where he rescued a beloved dog, or the
place where he adopted his wartime pet, a chicken.
This is your
guide to both the major Lee sites in Virginia and West Virginia and
lesser-known sites in distant states--from Texas, where he was sent to
chase Indians; to New York, where he rode his horse down Broadway; to
Florida, where he picked oranges as an elderly tourist. Taken together,
they will let you--as far as possible--stand where General Lee stood and
see what he saw.
