{"product_id":"9780760759196","title":"Recollections and Letters (Barnes \u0026 Noble Library of Essential Reading)","description":"Just as its subject, General \u003cb\u003eRobert E. Lee\u003c\/b\u003e, was no ordinary man, \u003ci\u003eThe Recollections and Letters\u003c\/i\u003e is no ordinary book. In defeat, the formal Confederate general became the personification of the South. This was a remarkable evolution for a man who in 1861 took up arms against the nation of his birth and subsequently led an army to a devastating end. Lee's transformation from defeated general to American hero was due in part to Robert E. Lee, Jr.'s, dedication to his father's memory.\u003cp\u003eIn 1904 the younger Lee produced \u003ci\u003eThe Recollections and Letters,\u003c\/i\u003e a book made up primarily of the general's personal correspondence, much of which was written to his wife and children. The book provided touching insights into the general's family life, allowing readers to connect with him on a more human level. Any study of Robert E. Lee, the South, the Civil War, or American history is incomplete without \u003ci\u003eThe Recollections and Letters.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47029391622384,"sku":"9780760759196","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780760759196_p0.jpg?v=1763796502","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780760759196","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
