Famous memoir of 1885 and he tells us in the memoir how he felt at that moment. Leave it not need such a story. He lived for only another five years after the surrender. Lees views have to be reconstructed from proximate sources, from those close to him , from the way people reacted to him. I will conclude by saying that in the immediate aftermath lee was a very controversial figure. Host dr. Blight thank you so much john. Thank you all for coming this afternoon. You are the loyal diehards. You have all been here all day watching the magnificent tableau of the reenactors in front of our eyes. They are irresistible. I have already watched two marches and stackings of the rifles and there is going to be a third that im told is even bigger right after we finish year, so i will try to get done in a hurry. Not to be missed. I want to first honor and praise the National Parks service. Ernie price and the incredible staff of appomattox, john and all of the other part Service Staff and battlef
