Not sure if this has not previously posted. Interesting talk on Lee and others.

Too long to watch just yet. Time is running short. But anytime I can listen to Krick, I'm interested. Thanks for posting.

Uh oh...it's a Stephen D. Lee Institute thing!

I watched this video and was interested to hear Krick number Longstreet as being one of two generals who didn't like Lee. In my admittedly limited reading to date, I didn't get the impression that Longstreet, even with his criticisms of some of Lee's wartime decisions in his postwar writing, actively disliked Lee. Am I way off base here?

Cheers,

Chris

I haven't seen much of Krick's work, and I haven't listened to this link, but I seem to remember getting the impression that it was Krick who did not like Longstreet because of his criticisms of Lee. I never heard of Longstreet not liking Lee either. I think Krick is just interpreting Longstreet's criticism as dislike of Lee simply because that's how Krick sees things.

Thanks for that link. Quite an interesting read, with much food for thought.
