In so many words; General Lee laid out the challenge of defending the young Southern Republic and two of its key cities: Charleston and Savannah. While in the Lowcountry; Lee acquired the two most famous trademarks of his wartime career. Long hours in the saddle prompted Lee to grow his signature beard and; while at Pocotaligo; he acquired his beloved equine companion; Traveller. Charleston historian Danny Crooks examines Lee's first year serving the Confederacy; a year of confusion and convoluted loyalty. Using Lee's own words and those of his contemporaries; Crooks helps the reader to understand why Lee; and only Lee; could bring order to the early chaos of the war.
