Henry Lee, called " See also:Light See also:Horse Harry." He was See also:born at See also:Stratford, Westmoreland See also:county, See also:Virginia, on the '9th of See also:January 1807, and entered See also:West Point in 1825. Graduating four years later second in his class, he was given a See also:commission in the U.S. Engineer See also:Corps. In 1831 he married See also:Mary, daughter of G. W. P. Custis, the adopted son of See also:Washington and the See also:grand-son of Mrs Washington. In 1836 he became first See also:lieutenant, and in 1838 See also:captain. In this See also:rank he took See also:part in the Mexican See also:War, repeatedly winning distinction for conduct and bravery. He received the brevets of major for Cerro Gordo, lieut.-See also:colonel for Contreras-Churubusco and colonel for Chapultepec. After the war he was employed in engineer See also:work at Washington and See also:Baltimore, during which See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time, as before the war, he resided on the See also:great See also:Arlington See also:estate, near Washington, which had come to him through his wife. In 1852 he was appointed See also:superintendent of West Point, and during his three years here he carried out many important changes in the See also:academy. Under him
as cadets were his son G. W. Custis Lee, his See also:nephew, Fitzhugh I whom he led was extraordinary. No student of the American See also:Civil War can fail to See also:notice how the See also:influence of Lee dominated the course of the struggle, and his surpassing ability was never more conspicuously shown than in the last hopeless stages of the contest. The See also:personal See also:history of Lee is lost in the history of the great crisis of See also:America's See also:national See also:life; See also:friends and foes alike acknowledged the purity of his motives, the virtues of his private life, his See also:earnest See also:Christianity and the unrepining See also:loyalty with which he accepted the ruin of his party.
