The Real Truth

[L Verge]

Well, it's been a particularly bad day at work; and Rich's friend and Gene just managed to make it worse!

Would love to know the title of the book with that little tidbit of poor history in it. Lee must have asked for his sword back because there is a description of Lee sitting with the sword suspended in perfect alignment and of its pristeen condition with jewels gleaming in the handle. There is also a description of how Lee and his general staff came to be so well-attired. It had something to do with the news that the supply trains would soon be overwhelmed by the Union forces. Lee and the others took it upon themselves to remove their best uniforms before they were confiscated.
