A stirring tribute to one of the South’s most revered figures, The Soul of Lee by Randolph Harrison McKim offers a deeply personal and admiring portrait of General Robert E. Lee — not simply as a military commander, but as a Christian gentleman, patriot, and symbol of Southern virtue. Written by a man who personally served the Confederacy, this work reflects the heartfelt reverence many Southerners held for Lee in the years following the War Between the States.

Randolph McKim himself served in the Confederate Army, briefly under Stonewall Jackson, before becoming a respected Episcopal minister and author. His firsthand experience in the Southern cause lends a sincerity and passion to this book that modern historians often cannot replicate.

This beautiful historical reprint is bound in elegant Smyth-sewn binding for durability and crafted on archival-quality paper, making it a lasting addition to any Southern library or Civil War collection. More than just a biography, The Soul of Lee is a window into the character, faith, and ideals that inspired generations of Southerners to honor Lee as the embodiment of duty, honor, and sacrifice.
