Robert E Lee High School - Traveler Yearbook (San Antonio, TX)

as-H, Zfa Haber! 5 Zee The history of Robert E. Lee is the history of the South during her greatest crisis. His history is bound up with that of the Army of Northern Virginia, on whose imperishable deeds and incomparable constancy rests his fame. But his own high character, his moral courage, his noble nature, and his mastery of the art of war make Robert E, Lee a figure rarely equaled in the pages of history. As a general, Lee's chief characteristics were his rapid grasp of the possibilities of a military situation his skillful use of interior lines of communication, his capacity for guessing what was in his opponents' minds, and his understanding of their weaknesses, Few commanders have exceeded him in the power to arouse devotion in his men. His only weakness was a tendency to trust his subordinates too much, and an unwillingness to force his decisions upon them. To Robert E. Lee, great general and great man, we dedicate the first Traveler.
