Lee, Robert E. (Robert Edward), 1807-1870

Transcribed in this journal is a previously undiscovered address on R. E. Lee, given by Nelson in what is now Lee Chapel in a weekly morning seminar. Describing, in detail, Lee’s initial ride into town through the intricacies of his funeral, he gives a personal and revealing perspective on Lee; one that paints Lee in a brilliant, intellectual, caring, and progressive light. Nelson also charts the development of the university under Lee. This powerful document has recently been completely transcribed. The front page is displayed here.

Nelson, Alexander Lockhart
