Letter from Stephen D. Lee to Archibald Gracie
General Lee read Archibald Gracie’s letter about the Battle of Chickamauga with great interest. He compliments Gracie’s research and writing abilities. Gracie’s manuscript summarizes the battle well and Lee believes it will be the true history. He realizes much that is not true history will be recorded as such. Only historians and men like Gracie will arrive at the truth when all participants are dead.
