The Haunted Homes of the Robert E. Lee

DARK SHADOWS OF THE LEES OF VIRGINIA

In researching Ghosts and Haunts of the Civil War, I never came across references to any ghostly sightings of Robert E. Lee, the venerable commander of the Army of Northern Virgina.

Christopher Coleman asked a question about Rails to Oblivion: While dramatic tales of battle make for interesting reading and good cinema, the truth is that logistics is what wins wars. As Nathan Bedford Forrest is quoted: being there "fustest with the moistest."

What do you think?

“After all, I believe that legends and myths are largely made of 'truth', and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.”
