General Robert E. Lee, a prominent figure in the US Civil War, is captured in various moments throughout history. In one image, we see General Lee alongside General Jackson before the battle of Chancellorsville, showcasing their strategic alliance during this pivotal time. Another captivating lithograph portrays General Lee and his staff at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - a haunting reminder of the fierce battles fought on American soil. Moving forward to 1865, an unknown photographer captures the desolate Wilderness Battlefield near Spotsylvania, Virginia - a poignant testament to the devastating toll war takes on both land and lives. The exterior of Lee Mansion between 1860 and 1880 provides us with a glimpse into the world where General Lee resided during these tumultuous times. A portrait from an unidentified source showcases General Robert E. Lee himself between 1860 and 1870 - his stoic expression reflecting the weight he carried as commander of Confederate forces. Shifting gears to another era entirely, Dorothea Lange's photograph taken in 1939 displays a grocery window that serves as a stark contrast to the scenes of war previously depicted. The McLeans House at Appomattox Court-House holds historical significance as it was here that General Lee surrendered to Grant in April 1865 - marking an end to one chapter while beginning another for our nation's future. A portrait by David H. Anderson introduces us to George Washington Custis Lee, son of Robert E. Lee; his presence reminding us that even great leaders have families affected by their choices. Returning back to battle scenes, we witness General Robert E. Lee at Fredericksburg in December 1862 through a vibrant color lithograph capturing his commanding presence amidst chaos and destruction. A black-and-white photograph further immortalizes him as he stands tall with determination etched upon his face. Finally, Alonzo Chappel's painting depicts one of history's most significant moments.
