PRIZEJSSAY Miss Moseley's Splendid Paper on the Life and Character of ROBERT EDWARD LEE Read at the Anniversary Celcbra- i tion of Lee's Birthday, January 19, 1910. ! I SOMETIME ago the Junius Dan-' iel Chapter, Daughters of the ' rnnfw, nhw.t a nH f c , ! in gold for the best essay on the life and character of General R. Li. Lee by any pupil of the Wcldon High School. Several beautifully prepared papers were submitted to a committee of three in Richmond, the committee having no knowl edge of the authors of the papers sent in. By a unanimous vote they decided in favor of the essay prepared by Miss Agnes Moseley, of Weldon, and the essay is here given in full as follows: ROBERT EDVl'AUD LEE. "To all who admire genius in a great commander, to all w ho ptvc true worth and merit in a citien of spotless integrity, to all who ap preciate selt-sacnhce in a patriot, to all who love nobleness of mind and uprightness of life, both public and domestic, no man appeals perhaps more strongly or awakens a keener interest than does Robert Hdward Lee, a soldier without an equal, a man without a peer. Robert, the eldest son of "Light Horse Harry" Lee, the valiant and courageous soldier of the Revolu tion, was born at Stratford, West moreland county, Virginia, on the nineteenth of January, 1807. When he was only eleven ears old his father died. If he was a good boy, it was his mother who kept him so, for he never knew a fath er's care. His mother once said to a friend, "How can I spare Rob ert! He is both a son and a daugh ter to me." He entered West Point Military Academy at the ear ly age of eighteen. Here he re mained four years and in that time never received a demerit. On ac count of his good deportment and scholarly attainments, upon his graduation he was appointed to the United States corps of engineers, a position of honor and distinction, and thus became Lieutenant Lee. Lieutenant Lee was married on the 30th of June, 183 1, to Mary Custis, the great granddaughter of Mrs. Washington, and the only child of George Parke Custis, the adopted son of Washington. In 1 846, war broke out between the United States and Mexico, and Lee was sent to Mexico to aid Gen. Scott. In the campaign from Vera Cruz to the Mexican capital, he so distinguished himself as to win ad miration and esteem from his com rades, and promotion and unstint ed praise from his superior officers. In after years General Scott was heard to say that his great success in Mexico was due to the skill and valor of Robert Hdward Lee, and that he was the best soldier he ever saw in the Held. The crisis in his life came when at the outbreak of lie civil war he was called upon to decide whether he would support the Union, or cast in his lot and share the fate of his native State. On one side, by the oiler of the supreme command of the whole Nonhern army, lay hopes of a briiliant military career, final success, honor and glory. On ihe other, home, kindred, friend Virginia, whose name from infancy ne mm neen mgm to reverence ; mcieilui God wiii extern! to you and love, and a cause, which, none , His blessing and protection. With better than he knew, was almost a i an unceasing admiration of your forlorn hope. He said to Mr. I constancy, and devotion to your Blair, who came to offer him the country, and a grateful remcm command of the army: "If I own- heranee of your kind and generous ed the four million of slaves in the consideration of myself, 1 bid you soutn, i woum give mem an up to save the Union, but how can I draw my sword upon Virginia, my native State?" So, when Mr. Lincoln called for troops to send against the South, Lee turned his back upon "wealth, rank, and all that a great power could give him, and offered his stainless sword to his native State." His great soul was wrung with grief, but he obey ed the call of duty. He went at once to Richmond, and was made Major - General of the Virginia troops. During the first months of the war, General Lee was kept in Richmond to send Virginia men who came to fight for the South to the place where they were most needed. Then, in 1861, he was Ike Hood pure? No! Is Aycr's f h s it r.iake the blood pure? nvo? Yes! Is it the only alcohol? Yes! Ask your medicine.

When, in the battle of "Seven Pines," General S John. - .ton was severely wounded, ! I tjencral l.ee was sent tor and put in his place. In three mouihs' ! time he had driven the foe from i Richmond and was now in front i of Washington with his army. He ; now moved t o l-'redcricksburg ! where he was again victor. It was j in this .hiitlc that he said these i words, which were the most bitter ! thai he was ever known to utter: "These people delight to destroy the weak and those who can make no defence, it just suits them." In the summer of the same year l.ee determined to move north. He had two reasons for ih.s move. One was to get food for his men and horses; and the other to draw the Northern army away from iis sirong foris around Washington City. He gave strict orders to his men not to sieal or rob. This is a part of his order: "The command ing general thinks that no greater disgrace could befall the army, and through it our whole people, than to commit outrages on the innocent and defenceless. It must be re membered that we make war only upon armed men. This order, with its noble Christ-like spirit, will remain the "undying glory of l.ee;" for all his property had been taken by the l-'ederals. I lis wife and daughters were homeless, yet he did not fail to return good for evil. After being defeated at C.etiys- hnr' LPf e,n"a . 1 K ;llmosl . in" numcranle hosts of the victorious Grant in the remarkable banes of the Wilderness, but against such fearful odds he could hold out to fight no longer. Accordingly, he surrendered the last remnant of l his worn and exhausted army to ' Grant at Appomattox, April 9th, 1 Sl.i5. Lee h.ul only eight thou sand men, while Grant's army ' numbered about two hundred thou j sand. In all these battles, General Lee had never been really del :ated, but he gave up at last because he had no more men and no more food. The northern generals had all the men and food they asked for, as i they had the world to draw from; but the South, being blockaded or shut in by northern ships of war, could not get what she needed from other lands. Lee did all that courage and ge nius could do against such odds, and was, without doubt, the great est commander of his time. Colonel Venahle. an officer on General Lee's stall', tells this story of the surrender: "When I told General Lee that the troops in front w ere not able to tight their way out, he said. "Then iliere is nothing left me but to go and see General Grant, and I w ould rather die a thousand deaths. " Another officer says that when i Lee was thinking ot the surrender lie exclaimed, How easily I could get rid of all this and be at rest! 1 have only to rule along the lines and all will be over. lint, he added quickly, "it is our duty to live, for w hat will become of the women and children of the South if we are not here to support and protect them ?" So, with a heart bursting with grief, he once more did his duty. He w ent at once to General Grant and surrendered himself and his few remaining men. The next day General Lee pub lished to the troops the following letter, the last which ever emanated from this peerless soldier: "Headquarters Army of Virginia, April li), l!S65. "After four years of arduous service, marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been com pelled to yield lo overwhelming numbers and resources. I need not tell the survivors of so many hard-fought battles who have re mained steadfast to the last, that I have consented to this result from no distrust of them: but feeling that valor and devotion could ac complish nothing thai could com pensate the loss that would have at tended the continuation of the con test, 1 have determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those w hose past services have endeared them to their countrymen. By the terms of the agreement, officers and men can return to their homes, and remain there until exchanged. You will lake with you the satis faction that proceeds from the con sciousness ot duty taitntully per- I formed; and I earnestly pray that a , an affectionate farewell. R. IS. LEE, General." Gen. Gram, it must be said, was most kind to General Lee and his men. He did not ask for General Lee's sword, nor did Lee offer it to him; neither did he require Lee's men to march up to stack their guns between ranks of Fed erals with flags Hying and bands playing. Lee's men simply went to places which were pointed out and stacked their guns. Their officers then signed a parole not to fight again against the Ur'ted States. The rank and file of uie Federal army too, were very kind to their old enemies, and the blue and the gray were soon mingling together in very friendly intercourse. An amusing story is told of a ragged, battle-scarred old Confed erate, who said to some of his new found friends in blue, "You uns need not think that you uns have done w hipped we uns. You ins hain't done no sich a thing We uns have just wore oursd1 , I a whipping of you uns. Now .: uns are going to try to live peace.i l.U '-''lib. you n-. hit if ) ou uns d-,.i't behave . j.irselves mighty pretty, we u" are going to whip yt uii ag n;i. " Aftei .: render, Lee rode out among ais men, who pressed up to him, eager to ''touch his per son or even his horse," and tears fell down the powder-stained cheeks of the strong mer.. Slowly he said: "Men we have fought the war together; 1 have done mv best for you; my heart is loo full to say more." And then in si lence, with lifted hat, he rode through the w eeping army towards home in Richmond In October, lSti. General Lee j became president of Washington , College, in Lexington, Virginia, i Many other places of trust were of-! fered him, but he chose to lead the young men of the South in the paths of peace and learning as he had so nobly done in times of war. Some one has aptly said, "Suns seem larger w hen they set;" so it was with Lee. At this time of his life he appears nobler and grander than ever before. In his quiet study, away from the noise of the world, he gave his time and talents to the young men of his dear South. In his life as college presi dent, duty w as, as ever, his watch word. Durine the five years here, he was permitted to exhibit to his countrymen, the best qualities of citicn, sage, and patriot. As the people saw him fulfilling these modest but noble functions; as they saw him with antique simplicity putting aside every temptation to use his great fame for vulgar gain; as they saw him, in self-respecting contentment with the frugal earn ings of his personal labor, refusing every otter of pecuniary assistance; as they realized his unselfish devo tion of all thai remained of strength and life to the nurture of the South ern youth in know ledge and mor als, a new conviction of his wis dom and virtue gathered force and volume, and spread abroad to oth er lands. Larly in I S70, in the midst of these labors, his health began to fail. There w as a flush upon his cheek, and an air of weariness about linn which alarmed his friends. Rheumatism of the heart and other parts of the body had set in, and in March, 180, he went South. His health seemed better when again at home; but soon his step was slower, and the flush up on his cheek began to deepen. "A noble life was drawing to a close." On October 1 Oth, about mid-! night, he was seized with a chill and his pulse became feeble and rapid. The next day he was seen to be sinking. I le knew those around him, hut was unable to speak. Soon after nine o'clock on the morning ot the 12ih he closed : his eyes on earthly things and his pure soul look its flight to God. It was thought that the strain and hardships of war, with sorrow of the "Lost Clause" and griefs of his frunds, had caused his death. Yet, to those who saw his calmness m all the trials of life, it did not seem true that his great soul had been worn away by them. The college chapel was . chosen by Mrs. Lee as a burial , place for her husband; and on the I Mh of October, the body was! born to the tomb. Virginia mourn ed for her noble son, and the State Legislature passed a bill making1 January 19th, the birthday of Robert li. Lee, a legal holiday. It is the unanimous testimony of i the men who lived and acted with I him, that Lee was the purest and . best man of action whose career history has recorded. In his whole life, laid bare to the gaze of the world, the least friendly criticism has never discovered one simple deviation from the narrow path of rectitude and honor. No man can consider his life without a feeling of renewed hope and trust in mankind. There is about his exhibitions of moral ex cellence the same quality of power in reserve thai marks him as a sol dier. He never failed to come up to the full requirements of any sn uation, and Ins conduct communi cated the impression that nothing could arise to which he would be found unequal. His every action went straight to ihe mark without affection or display. It cost him no visible effort lo be good or great. He was not conscious that lie was exceptional in either way, and he died in the belief that as he had been sometimes unjustly blamed, so he had as often been too highly praised. Perhaps no man ever lived so greal, so good, so unselfish as Lee. Duty was the keynote of his life. In the midst of his greatness he was humble, simple and gentle. He loved little children wherever he met them. ' One clay, during the war, a number of little girls were rolling hoops on the sidewalks in Rich mond, when General Lte came riding toward them. They stopped playing to gaze at so great a man. To their surprise, he threw his reins to his courier, dismounted, and kissed every one of them. Then mounting, he rode away with a sunny smile of childhood in his heart, and plans of great battles in his mind." While in Petersburg, in the win ter of 18(54, he went to preaching one day at a crowded church, and saw a little girl, dressed in faded garments, standing just inside the door, and looking for a seat. "Come with me, my little lady," said the great soldier, "and you shall su by me." Thus the great chief and poor child sat side by side. A gentleman tells this story, which is quite in keeping with General Lee's way of pleasing children: "When my little girl, about four . years old, heard of General Lee's death, she said to me, "bather, I can never forget General l.ee." 1 ass .! "vVliyr" "Because, when u i... ! ; , ere playing at me g... I iy and General Lee -,. ., o, he siopp -d and took mi .i. , . . and bowed to us and said, "I'ouug ladies, don't you thins, tins is the prettiest h'ir-.e you ever saw?" We s.uu it was a very pretty horse. "Oil, no!" he said "I want to know whether Traveler is not the very prettiest horse you 1 ever saw in your life. " And when we looked at him, and saw how white and gay he was, we said, i "Yes!" T hen he laughed and j said, "Well, if you think he is so j ' pretty, I will just let you kiss him!" I and then he rode off smiling, and . 1 don't believe I can ever forget , I that." ; i Another gentleman, who was clerk of the faculty at Washington College, says that General Lee was very careful about little thing One day the clerk wrote a letter lo someone at General Lee's re quest, in which he used the term "our students." When General Lee looked at it, he said that he did not like the phrase "our stu dents." He said that we had no property rights in the young men, and he thought it besi to say, "the students," not "our students." The clerk struck out w ith his pen the word "our" and wrote "the." He then brought the letter to Gen eral Lee. "This will not answer," he said, "I want you to write the letter over." So the clerk had to make a fresh copy. This story is often told of him: In I So' 1 when Genera! l.ee was on the lines below Richmond, many soldiers came near him and thus brought to them the fire of the foe. He said to the soldiers: "Men, you had better go into the back yard; they are bring up here and you might get hurt." The men obeyed, but saw their dear General walk across the yard, pick up some object and place it in a tree over his head. 1 hey tound out that the object he had risked his life for was only a little bird which had fallen out of its nest. God had given the stern chief a ! heart so tender that he could pause amid a rain of shot and shell to ' care tor a tiny fallen birdling. i General l.ee w as noted for his want ot hatred towards any one. ; 1 le called the northern soldiers "those people. " Once in the midst of a fierce battle, he said to his son Robert, who was bravely working at a big gun, "Thai's right, my ; sun, drive those people back." When told of Jackson's fatal wound his eye Hashed fire. ml his face flush ed as he thought of his great lost, but he quietly said: "General Jackson's plans shall be carried out. Those people shall be driven 1 back today." : General Lee was more than : brave and tender, he was meek, yet with a heart big enough to love every one of his soldiers, and greal enough to plan long marches and glorious battles. The real corner-stone of his life was his trust in God. Whatever came to him, he always said, ! "God's will be done. " The death of the wile of his son. General W. II. l-'iihugh l.ee, gave General l.ee much grief. The tormer Gen--eral was wounded and taken pris oner. While in prison his lovely wife died. In this bitter grief, General Lee wrote to his son these , words: "My whole trust is in God, and I am ready for whatever : he may ordain." General Lee gave freely of his small means to his church and to the poor." At a vestry meeting : which took place the evening of his illness, the sum ot fifty-five dol lars was needed for the pay of the i Recior. Though he had before ; given his share, General Lee said in a low voice, "1 will give the sum. 1 hese were the last words he spoke to the vestry and this giv ing his last public act. General Custis Lee was made President of the college in his fath er's place. The college is now called the "Washington and Lee" University, after Washington and Lee, the two great names in the history of our country. After the death of General Lee, many speeches were made in his praise, and many letters were written telling of ihe sorrow of his friends. These letters came not only from ihe South, but from the North and other lands. The New York Herald said these kind words of him : "In a quiet autumn morning, in the land beloved so well, and, as he held, he had served so faith fully, the spirit of Robert lidward Lee left the clay which it had so much ennobled, and travelled out of ibis world into the greai and unknown land. "Not to the Southern peopl IDC rOUIIlcrn people I e limited the tribute of ; the dead Virginian.1 North, forgetting that i alone shall ne a tear over Here in the North, forgetting the time was when the sword of i Robert li. Lee was drawn against j us, we have long since ceased to j look upon him as a Confederate ; leader, but have claimed him as ! one of ourselves, for Robert Ed- j ward Lee was an American, and the greai nation which gave him i birth would today be unworthy of such a son if she looked upon him lightly. The London Standard gave this tribute to Lee: "A country which has given birth to men like him, and those who followed him, may look the chivalry of Europe in the face without shame; for the lands of Sidney and of Bayard never brought forth a nobler soldier, gentleman and Christian, than Robert Edward Lee." General W. Preston spoke of him thus: "1 knew him first when he was a captain. At that time, General Scott had decided upon Lee as 'a man who would make his mark if he were ever called upon to do great work. He never drank, he never swore an oath, but there was never dispute among gentlemen in which his afiVJ Relief from p.:L iliM mi cause vu hours ! aoin Tired out muscles .i-ol ready for auoi iu-r -l;'v's v Lameness in the back promptly cured and si ill' joints ii:uleivl up.

When the war came on, he followed his na tive Slate, Virginia. Scott main tained that l.ee was the greatest s ildier in the army." These extracts would not be complete without this one, bearing upon him as a teacher : "And it is an honor for all colleges of the South, and for all our schools, that this pure and bright name is joined by the will of him that bore it with the cause of edu cation. We believe that so long as the name of Lee is cherished by Southern teachers, they will grow stronger in their work. They will be encouraged to greater efforts when they remember thai Lee was one of their number, and thai his great heart, that had so brave ly borne ihe fortunes of an empire, bore also, anions its latest aspira tions, the interests and hopes of the teacher." A great public honor was paid to our hero when ihe bronze statue by Mercie.was unveiled in Rich mond. As time rolls on, statue and city will pass away. But the name and virtues of Robert Edward Lee a man so noble, so true, so pure, so elevated, of such good report, spoken of Benjamin H. Hill as a foe without hate, a friend without treachery, a soldier without cruel ly; a victor without oppression, and a victim without murmuring; a Christum without hyprocrisy, and a man without guile; a Caesar without his ambition, Frederick without his tyranny, Napoleon without his selfishness, and Wash ington without his reward will never die, for they are written in the history of his country and in the Book of Life, and will live be yond the shores of Time."
