Lee The AmericanBy Gamaliel Bradford, published by Houghton Mifflin Company in 1912, hardcover, 324 pages, good condition with moderate cover wear, no dust jacket. An early biography of Robert E. Lee. High bidder includes $2.50 shipping, NY residents include 8% sales tax. From the Preface:"THE formal and final biography of Lee should be written by a competent military specialist, like Henderson. This book, although it aims to give an intelligible biographical narrative, aims much more to give a clear, consistent, sympathetic portrait of a great soul. In short, its purpose is not so much biography as psychography. Those to whom the latter term is new will find a full discussion of it, both in general and in relation to Lee, in the Appendix.For material I have relied mainly upon the “Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies” and the lives of Lee by Long, Jones, Fitzhugh Lee, and Captain R. E. Lee. But a complete bibliography of sources would be practically a bibliography of the war literature both Northern and Southern. I have endeavored to give in the Notes my authority for every verbal quotation and for all important or disputable statements of fact."
