Lee and Jackson as seen by their armies at war
The article contrasts General Robert E. Lee with Thomas J. Jackson noting Lee inspired trust and reverent affection from the troops. Lee rode Traveler in simple dress, rarely wore weapons, and cared for soldiers as he led from the front. His presence steadied divisions at Antietam and Spottsylvania, rallying regiments and taking personal risks.
