Lee Robert E Lee Last Moment of Heroism

The incident, if it actually happened, was not seen at the time in the way the TV show would have us believe

General Lee and Visibility
That may be one of the strangest things I've ever read! If it didn't actually happen, it wasn't seen in any way at all! And if it did, we actually only have one take on it & that dating from 1905, some 40 years after the event. That take, was of a ****.

I hope this incident took place & that Lee was reaching out in fellowship to the other man. That is the kind of man that I think Lee was. I understand Lee to have been acutely aware of his potential influence in the South after the war & I cannot believe that having urged his surrendered troops to go home & be good citizens just weeks before this incident that he would deliberately incite those around d him to an act of petty racism. Lee was bigger than that.
