In 1775-76, he and Gates were the American generals who expressed the most respect for the soldiers in the abstract, yet he expressed the most contempt as well.

Charles Lee, the less I like him -- and at one time I was inclined to like him a lot, as my aunt and uncle's family own his home in what is now West Virginia. Supposedly he can be heard pacing back and forth in the attic, still mad at Washington. -- Joe BaumanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
