{"product_id":"2940013407862","title":"General Robert E. Lee and the Seven Days Battles: Account of the Peninsula Campaign from \"A Biography of Robert E. Lee\" (Illustrated)","description":"Fitzhugh Lee (November 19, 1835 – April 28, 1905) was a cavalry officer for the Confederacy, the Governor of Virginia, and later a general in the Spanish-American War, fighting for the country that he had fought against over 30 years earlier. While all of this would be enough to earn him distinction, he is remembered primarily today for being the nephew of General Robert E. Lee, as well as one of his most vocal defenders and supporters. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFitz Lee wrote several works about the Civil War that, along with other generals like Jubal Early, helped form the basis for the Lost Cause and helped create the reputation of reverence for Robert E. Lee that is still widely held today. In addition to deifying Robert E. Lee, Fitz Lee, Early, and other authors like them often clashed with former Confederate comrades like James Longstreet, who either were not Virginian or had been critical of Robert E. Lee themselves. Debates between the men persisted into the 20th century, and they’re partially responsible for memoirs like James Longstreet’s From Manassas to Appomattox. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeneral Robert E. Lee at the Seven Days Battles is an excerpt from Fitzhugh Lee’s biography of the general that covers Lee taking command of the Army of Northern Virginia as the Army of the Potomac is within sight of Richmond. Over the course of a week’s worth of battles, Lee pushed the Army of the Potomac back up the Peninsula, paving the way for Lee to march the army north toward the eventual battle fought at Manassas. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition of General Robert E. Lee at the Seven Days Battles is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and illustrated with maps of the battles and pictures of the important generals.","brand":"Charles River Editors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079438844144,"sku":"2940013407862","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013407862_p0.jpg?v=1763580467","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013407862","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
