Return to article: How to Celebrate Robert E. Lee
on 2/2/2008 As Georgia born and raised, I'd recommend viewing the Ken Burns series The Civil War, narrated in part by Shelby Foote. Mr. Foote's knowing, gentle southern voice gives insight into Lee's life, thinking and character as well as those of other figures in the Civil War, both North and South. RIP Shelby Foote.
on 1/24/2007 Also, gotta check out Stone Mountain, Ga. Holler.
on 1/15/2007 Mississippi honors Robert E. Lee's Birthday on January 15th. You can view the proclamation at the Secretary of State's Website.
on 2/1/2006 Robert E. Lee's birthday is also observed on the third Monday of January in the state of Mississippi.
on 11/22/2005 The best trip of all is to visit Washington and Lee University. Entering the Lee Chapel is such an emotional experience. Down below, you can see where all the Lees are buried. Outside the Chapel, you can see Traveller's grave. Also, the best and most inspiring book to read on Lee is "Lee: The Last Years" by Charles B. Flood.
