THE ALAMANCE GLEANER;
A COMPOSITE SKETCH OF
ROBERT E. LEE ARD THOM
AS. J. JACKSON.
Essay by Miss Mary White of
Hawfields High School, read in the
contest lor the prize offered by
Graham Chapter Daughtes of the
Confederacy.
ROBERT ; E. LEE.
Robert E .Lee was born at Strat
ford, Westmoreland county, Virgin
ia, on the 19th of January, 1807.
His ancestors may be traced back
to Launcdot Lee of Loudon, in
France, who went with William
the Conqueror, to England. During
the reign of Charles I. Richard
Lee, the great great grandfather
of Robert Lee came to the New
World and settled in Virginia.
Robert's fattier, who was General
Henry Lee, married Annie Hill
Carter, who came from one of the
best families in Virginia.
As a boy, Robert was quiet and
reserved. He liked to ride and
hunt and was a good horseman.
At school he was studious and
ranked near the head of his class.
While he was yet very young he
expressed his wish to become a
soldier, and all through his early
school days he showed that he was
best suited for a military life.
When he had finished his pre
paratory course he went /to West
Point. Here he stayed four years,
and in all that time he received
not a single bad mark or demerit.
While there he became noted tor
two things, his punctuality and his
neatness, and when he finished
there he stood second in his class.
When he was 22 years old he en
tered the Engineer Corps of the
United States. He waß engaged
there in planning forts, changing
the course of rivers, and other
work of the same kind.
On the 30th of June, 1831 Lieu
tenant Lee was married to Mary
Curtis, the great great grand
daughter of Mrs. Washington.
During the IS years that follow
ed. Lee was busy with his work as
Captain of Engineers. In 1846 war
broke out between Mexico and the
United States. Lee's service as
engineer was at once required, and
he was sent to aid General Wool,
in the North of Mexico. At first
his work was to make roads and
draw maps; to build bridges and
plant tug guns and guide the men
who were going to fight. But later
on he took part tin the fighting.
The fact that he rendered invalua
able aid to his superior officers is
proven by the words of General
Scott, who was heard to say that
great success in Mexico was large
ly flue to the skill and valor of
Robert E. Lee, and that Lee was
the best soldier he ever saw in the
field.
When the Mexican War was
over, in 1848, Lee went home for a
rest after which he was sent to
West Point as Superintendent of
the .Academy from which he had
graduated 23 years before.
After being three years at West
Point he was sent to Texas as lieu
tenant of the Second Regiment of
Cavalry. His duty there was to
watch the Indians and keep them
from killing the whites. His life
there, almost cut off from civili
zation, was far from pleasant; but
the Idea of withdrawing did not
occur to him. He was not a quit
ter. One of the letters he wrote
home shows well how lonely his
life was there. He wrote, "My
daily walks are alone up and down
the banks of the river, and my
chief pleasure comes from the
sight of the flowers and animals
that I meet here."
„About two years later, when be
was at home on a furlough, the
John Brown raid broke out and
Lee was ordered to take a band
of men and capture the lender.
When this was done he went
back to his post in Texas. At this
time the country was on the verge
of the Civil War; and Lee was
anxious to be back in his own
State and share in her sruggles.
When war came he was offered
the chief command of the United
States Army; but be could not
fight against his Southland and
his native State. So he turned his
back on "wealth and rank and all
that great power could give him,
and offered his stainless sword to
South." He took command of the
Southern army fully realizing the
responsibility of his position and
with a firm resolution to do his
duty in upholding the cause of
right.
There is no question as to Lee's
personal bravery. - We have abun-;
dant proof of his coolness in bal-,
tie. Yet from what we know of
his character, we cannot suppose
that he was naturally reckleas of
peril, but by the time he entered
the Civil War he had become so
accustomed to fighting that he
waa as indifferent to bullets as
rain drop*, and went wherever
duty called him without a thought
of danger. He also has the repu
tation of being the most self-pos
sessed general in history. An eye
witness of Pickett's bloody repulse
says, that whatever Lee's emo
tions were at that horrible moment
there was DO trace of them in his
self-possessed bearing.
His camp, unlike that Of most
generals, was absolutely free from
vice. Lee. himself was temperate
In all his habits, and he demanded
the same of all around him.
There Is no doubt as to the fact
that his personal influence was

' immense. His presence" or the
(knowledge that he was looking
| on, always served as an inspiration
Ito his men. Once, Just before a
' battle, there was heard to pass
| from mouth to mouth, this simple
• command, "Remember General Lee

I he thought that his presence was
needed to encourage his men he
would ride into the thickest of the
fight, regardless of his safety. His
deeds,-- more than his words, serv
ed to arouse the enthusiasm of the
I army j for Lee was certainly no or
' ator. It has been said that the
most eloquent address ever made
Lee passed silently, with uncover
ed head, along the line, )ust be
i fore a battle.
i As the war drew to a close Lee
I saw that the end must be, and the
realization of his responsibility to
the thousands who trusted him
must have been terrible. At last
the end came and Lee was forced
to surrender; not because he was
defeated, but because he had no
more men and no more food. He
had done all that courage and
genius could do against such odds;
and was, without doubt, the great
est general of his time.
» Alter the war he returned to
Virginia and there became Presi
dent of Washington College, in
Lexington. Here were passed the
last few years of this noble life
that had been spent in the service
of others.
At ltis death, the loss was felt,
not only in the South, for the
North as well, realized that the
country had lost one of her noblest
men; and the whole nation mourn
ed.
These beautiful words were said
of him in a speech soon after his
death: #
"General Lee's fame is not
bounded by the continent. I re
joice that the South gave him.
birth; I rejoice thaT the South
holds his ashes. But his fame be
longs to the human race. Wash
ington, too, was born in the South,
but his fame belongs to mankind.
We place the name of Lee by that
of Washington. They both belong
to the world.
THOMAS J. JACKSON.
Thomas J. Jackson, also a prom
inent Confederate, general, was
born in 1824, at Clarksburg, among
the mountains of West .Virginia.
Jackson's family, unlike that of
Lee, was very poor. His father,
who was a lawyer, died when
Thomas was three years old. Mrs.
Jackson married again but her
second husband was unable to sup
port Thomus nnd he was sent to
make his home with an uncle.
Here he spent his boyhood work
ing on the farm. Like Lee, he was
fond of riding and became an ex
cellent horseman.
In 1842, when he was 18 years
old, he entered West Point, just
as Lee had entered there when he
was eighteen. At first Jackson
was slow in learning from books,
but by hard work and persistence
he soon proved himself the equal
of any of his classmates. His mot
to was, "You can be what ever you
resolve to be," and he resolved to
win success as a soldier.. With
this determination and with hard
study he gradually worked his
way up, until when he finished, he
stood near the head of his class.
in the same year that he com
pleted his course the Mexican war
broke out, and Jackson, together
with all other West Point gradu
ates, was ordered into active ser
vice. It was in this war, at the
battle of Churbrusco, that Jackson
won his first military famb, and
gained the title of brevet-captain.
Later at Chapultapeck, he showed
such courage and bravery, that he
was warmly praised by his supe
rior officers.-
Upon the capture of the City of
of .Moicc the war ended, and
Jackaon who was now a Major,
was ordered with his command to
Fort Hamilton, New York, Harbor.
During his two years here he be
came deeply interested in relig
ious work and joined the Episcopal
church.
After leaving Fort Hamilton he
became professor of Natural Phi
losophy and Artillery Tactics in
the Virginia Military Institute at
Lexingtqp. While teaching here
married Miss Eleanor Junkin, who
lived only 14 months. Four years
later he married Miss Mary Morri
son, the daughter of a Presby
terian clergyman. His life was
then uneventful until the begin
ning of the Civil War.
When the Governor's message
came that Virginia had left the
Union Jackaon was ready to fight
for his native commonwealth. On
the same day that he received the
tidings he had led the boys whom
he had been training and inarched
them away to battle. '
Jackson made Colo
nel and put in command at Har
per's Ferry. Like Lee he never
made display, but went quietly in
and out among his men without
noise or buatle.
He (till wore the uniform of hi*
school and usually had hi* faded
old cadet cap pulled down over hi*
eye*.
In battle he threw hi* whole
■oul into the fighting. Nothing es
caped hi* observation, and he left
nothing undone that would give
him the leait advantage over the
enemy. The wcrecjr and swiftne**
of hi* audden attack* completely
baffled the enemy, and with a
•mall force he could throw a large
army Into complete confusion. In
the battle of Bull Run he gained
the well known title of Stonewall,
because of the firm stand he took
there. On account of the exceed
ing vigor and promptness of action
he was one of the best officers in
tlflK Southern army.
On January 31, 1862, he suddenly
resigned his command on acount
of certain difficulties or jealous
ies, on the part of General Loring.
But Lee could not do without his
"right hand," and Jackson was
persuaded to resume his com
mand. So great was Lee's confi
dence in Jackson that he was
given control of half of the troops
of Virginia, and was second in au
thority to Lee himself.
His active service in the battle of
Fredericksburg December 13, 1862,
won for him the rank of Lieuten
ant-General.
' Soon after this he was shot and
fatally wounded by his own men
who mistook him for a Union sol
soldier. Everything possible was
done to save his life, but it was
of no avail. For a week ho lin
gered, and td the last, thought and
planned for his men. When he
realized that the end had come,
he said, "Let us cross over the
river and rest under .the shade of
the trees."
His death was a severe blow to
the South. There were good men
in the army but not one had Jack
son's power of infusing into the
men his own relentless energy and
unconquerable resolution. The
North recognized the fact that
Jackaon was a great leader, and
that his death removed one of the
ablest generals of the Southern
army; yet they said : "We wish
ed his capture, not his death."
The fact that Jackson's life was
appreciated by the North as well
as the South, is proven by the
words of a strong Republican who
said when speaking of Jackson's
character, "To inflexibility of pur
pose and profound , religious con
victions were added the most dis
interested purpose and the most
heroic courage. His zeal was as
clear and constant as the of
a never obscured star. In all sta
ges of the rebellion his soul was
absorbed in the undertaking,"
and to his death he never wavered
in the struggle.
At the time of Jackson's death
Lee had just won his greatest vic
tory, but its glor.v was- clouded in
his grief for his friend. General
Lee wrote to his wife, M*y 11, 1863,
"You will see that .we have to
mourn the loss of the great and
good Jackson. I know not how to
replace him, but God's will be
done."
These two men so closely united
in their glorious service to the
South, were in many ways, much
alike. It is true that Lee nad an
advantage over Jackson In that he
came from a noble and aristocrat
ic family, but-Jackson deserves all
the more credit, because he was a
self-made man. As generals, both
were loved and revered by every»
soldier of the army. Not alone as
generals, but as men, they must
rank always among the greatest of
all time.
