Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Little has been written on Henry Lee, and this is the first work that focuses on the years when Lee rose to become one of the true heroes of the American War for Independence. Henry Lee's exploits may have been largely ignored by historians, but it can now be said that they have not been forgotten.
