Originally published in 1875, J. William Jones's Personal Reminiscences of General Robert E. Lee is universally regarded as one of the most valuable and interesting works on the South's great commander. J. William Jones knew Lee well, from the time the general took command of the Army of Northern Virginia to the final years of Lee's life, when he served as president of Washington College (now Washington and Lee University). When Lee died, Jones was "one of that band of loving hearts whose sad privilege it was to bear him to the tomb." Jones's very personal memoir provides intimate glimpses into Lee's character, career, and domestic life. The author also provides touching examples of Lee's religious faith, which he maintains was deeply felt and consistently lived. He writes that unwavering allegiance to duty was the guiding principle of Lee's life.
