We have spent a few weeks here looking at things like hats, and women voting, and fashion and so forth, so, this week is going to be Man Week. We are going to look throughout history, and feature the greatest generals that ever lived.
We kick this off with the greatest general of all times. General Robert E. Lee. We love Lee because he was the underdog, and he almost pulled it off. The south had fewer men, fewer weapons, and fewer supplies, but Lee was able to almost always fight to either a victory or a draw. Through it all, Lee remained a man of honor.
Lee died on October 12, 1870. During his last moments he was incoherent, and was calling on General A.P. Hill to bring his troops up. Then, his final words were, "Strike the Tent".
