Career army officer and the most successful general of the Confederate forces during the American Civil War. He eventually commanded all Confederate armies as general-in-chief. Like Hannibal earlier and Erwin Rommel later, his victories against superior forces in an ultimately losing cause won him enduring fame. After the war, he urged sectional reconciliation, and spent his final years as president of the college that would come to bear his name, Washington and Lee University. Large and crisp ink signature, “R. E. Lee,” on an off-white slip. Matted and framed with a portrait of Lee, to an overall size of 10.25 x 14. In fine condition, with a couple subtle wrinkles. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
