R.E. Lee

NY: Scribners, 1944. Pulitzer Prize Edition. All Hard Bound. Near Fine all volumes / None. Item #540

Southall Freeman earned a Pulitzer Prize in 1936 for this epic biography. In 1944 Scribners published this set in celebration of the event.

The Pulitzer edition is bound in two decorative bindings, one more elaborate than the other and therefore more desirable. These books are bound in the more attractive heavy gold embossed binding. Beautiful on the shelf!!

Nevins II-57: "A classic example of the biological form; exhaustively researched, vividly written, balanced, judicious and definitive in its portrayal of the Confederacy's greatest soldier.". Howes 350. Freeman. In Tall Cotton 62: "...remains a masterpiece of biography and of military history."
