Resumen del Editor
He was a dashing military hero who led the fight for America's independence. His son would later become the general who almost tore America apart.
Henry Lee III - whose nickname, "Light-Horse," came from his legendary exploits with mounted troops and skill in the saddle - was a dashing cavalry commander and hero of America's War for Independence. By now most Americans have forgotten about Light-Horse Harry Lee, the father of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, but this new biography reveals he may be one of the most fascinating figures in our nation's history. A daring military commander, Lee was also an early American statesman whose passionate argument in favor of national unity helped ratify the Constitution.
When President George Washington needed to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion, he sent in his friend Light-Horse Harry Lee with 12,000 militiamen. When Washington died, Lee was the man who famously eulogized our first president as "first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen." With incredible stories about Light-Horse Harry Lee's interactions with famous men and women - including George and Martha Washington, Nathanial Greene, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr - this book paints a rich portrait of an underappreciated American character and provides unique new insight into the upbringing and motivations of Lee's infamous son, General Robert E. Lee.

On the eve of the Civil War, one soldier embodied the legacy of George Washington and the hopes of a divided land. Both North and South knew Robert E. Lee as the son of Washington's most famous eulogist and the son-in-law of Washington's adopted child. Each side sought his services for high command. Lee could choose only one. The decision he made would change history.

The history of the United States displays an uncanny pattern: At moments of crisis, when the odds against success seem overwhelming and disaster looks imminent, fate intervenes to provide deliverance and progress. Historians may categorize these incidents as happy accidents, callous crimes, or the products of brilliant leadership, but the most notable leaders of the past 400 years have identified this good fortune as something else - a reflection of divine providence.

The must-have companion to Bill O'Reilly's historical docudrama Legends and Lies: The Patriots, an exciting and eye-opening look at the Revolutionary War through the lives of its leaders. The American Revolution was neither inevitable nor a unanimous cause. It pitted neighbors against each other as loyalists and colonial rebels faced off for their lives and futures. These were the times that tried men's souls: No one was on stable ground, and few could be trusted.

In The Loyal Son, award-winning historian Daniel Mark Epstein throws the spotlight on one of the more enigmatic aspects of Franklin's biography: his complex and confounding relationship with his illegitimate son, William.

With absorbing power, Emory M. Thomas tells the story of one of the most revered figures in American history. A story of triumph and tragedy, this stunning biography provides a fascinating glimpse at the man behind the Civil War legend. Revealing the "whole" Lee in this enthralling, detailed saga, Thomas portrays him as a man driven by the paradoxes in his own personality. Here is the Lee who is both a legend and a man. Heroic and larger than life in battle; insecure and unfulfilled in private life.

When we look back on our nation's history, the American Revolution can feel almost like a foregone conclusion. In reality, the first weeks of the war were much more tenuous, and a fractured and ragtag group of colonial militias had to coalesce to have even the slimmest chance of toppling the mighty British Army. American Spring follows a fledgling nation from Paul Revere's little-known ride of December 1774 and the first shots fired on Lexington Green through the catastrophic Battle of Bunker Hill.

Historia
Told from multiple points of view - including those of James and Dolley Madison and a British admiral - this is the true story of the burning of the White House in 1814. It's unimaginable today, even for a generation that saw the Twin Towers fall and the Pentagon attacked. It's unimaginable because in 1814, enemies didn't fly overhead; they marched through the streets, and for 26 hours in August, the British enemy marched through Washington, DC, and set fire to government buildings, including the US Capitol and the White House.

Like father, unlike son.
Pretty much anybody that reads about the Civil War learns in passing that R.E. Lee's father was the Revolutionary War hero Light Horse Harry Lee. That's usually about the end of it. So I was pleased to find this reasonably full length biography of the elder Lee.
In short, dude was a interesting cat. Emotional, proud, a tactically skilled cavalry leader, close friend of Washington, supporter of the Constitution, he also was an utterly intractable con man/profligate spender who was both a Governor of Virginia and ended up serving a year in debtor's prison in addition to getting beaten nearly to death later in life by a mob while defending a Federalist newspaper editor friend against the mob. Oh, then he sailed permanently to the West Indies without his family to "recover" and died on his way back. Got all that?
To say this rather quixotic life was a different from his son would be a vast understatement. That contrast is probably the most interesting aspect of this biography. On its own, Lee's rise as a Soldier and politician, and eventual fall would be interesting but more as trivia than as an important part of the historical record. The fact that his son (who admittedly barely knew him as he left when the boy was only 5) turned out to be such the polar opposite in temperament and demeanor and became such a paragon of duty and rectitude (as he saw it) is what makes study of the father that much more valuable. Cole's biography does a fine job of tracing all of this (though does not touch on the relationship with the son as there's not enough there), but still produces an eminently readable work.

Strange performance
It’s a great story, and the writing is exquisite. What’s totally off-putting is this antebellum southern accent the reader gives for the Lees. Colonial accents were different and it totally takes away from the story to have a thick southern accent where there isn’t one elsewhere in the story.

Wonderfully written and read and educative.
I learned much in this book about this amazing patriot, including the bad with the good of his life. There should be monuments to him all over the original thirteen states. God bless his soul.

Great Book!
The narrator of this book was absolutely phenomenal! The story was captivating and intense about a man that, admittedly, I had no idea about. I will definitely be searching for more books by Ryan Cole and narrated by John McClain.

American History Lovers Book!
I was engaged, riveted, saddened and enlightened by this well written and read historical accounting of General Harry lighthouse Lee. The epilogue was also very interesting and enlightening as to the amazing parallels yet opposite paths the Lee Generals took.
I loved learning so much about them!

Remarkable life - wonderfully told
I’ve read biographies on all of the founding fathers. Been looking for several years for the life of Harry Lee. This work was worth the wait. This is a fascinating read and connects many of the missed links of the revolution

Excellent history
This is a very interesting but sad story about a Revolutionary War Hero that I knew little about. It is also a very revealing story about the birth pains of our nation trying to get things figured out after we won our independence from Great Britain.
Henry Lighthourse Lee was a great soldier but self destructed after the war in spectacular fashion, not only failing himself, but two wives that apparently cared a great deal for him, not to mention several children and a number of other relatives who tried desperately to help him.
The book indicates to me that he was a glory hound whose fearless daring helped win some spectacular battles in the war, and made him an effective and influential political figure, but whose seeking after financial glory with his continual fearless financial speculation, led him to, step by unfortunate step, lose the family fortune and brought many people he cared about, to disgrace and near poverty. This is the story of how it all happened.

Fascinating history of a controversial warrior, hero, and mortal
It is hard to fully understand our nations history and the context if its early days without knowing the lives and circumstances of the men that hazarded their lives for its existence. This book aids in fleshing out that understanding
