Greetings Booklovers,

We are pleased to offer:
~
(No. 3066 )  Freeman, Douglas Southall. R. E. LEE: A BIOGRAPHY (COMPLETE IN 
FOUR VOLUMES).
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, (1936). Full cloth, Octavos, ca. 2400 
pages, Black & white photographs, maps. Very good, No dust jackets.
      The Pulitzer Prize Edition of this monumental work, which remains the 
finest biography of Lee. The research is superb and the documentation 
thorough and precise. In the hands of a less able biographer this amount of 
detail would overwhelm most readers, but Freeman makes it all come alive. 
While Freeman was sympathetic to Lee, he is certainly not afraid to weigh 
all the evidence. Well illustrated with plates and maps, including some 
fold-outs. In addition, each volume has several pages of extra illustrations 
at rear which were specially selected for this edition. Extensive 
bibliography. See EICHER #262; CIVIL WAR  BOOKS Vol. II, p. 57; DORNBUSCH 
#2930, etc. Bound in grey leather-textured cloth over boards with 
gilt-stamped spines on red title blocks, border rule and oval profile of Lee 
in gilt on upper boards. Clean set overall with some minor extremity rubs 
and mild browning to textblock edges. Hinges not cracked....... $125.00
