The Religious Life of Robert E. Lee

History & Biography

“This opens up an entirely new way of looking at Robert E. Lee. Cox not only examines the details of Lee's religious pilgrimage, but in the process recreates the entire world of Virginia Episcopalianism which nurtured him and the family world which shaped his practices. From start to finish, this is a major contribution to understanding Lee, his religion, and his times.”
