Description

On this episode of Our American Stories, most people's knowledge of Robert E. Lee starts with his decision to reject command of the Union Army and ends at Appomattox—but there's so much more to his story than that. Dr. Allen C. Guelzo, author of Robert E. Lee: A Life, tells the story of a complicated man whose decision-making was heavily influenced by where his house was and where his family was. We thank the great folks at the Bill of Rights Institute for allowing us to use this remarkable audio—originally part of their Scholar Talks Series on YouTube.
