A 'Blast from the Future' or Who am I

[James_Longstreet]

"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers! In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late. Accordingly, I'm readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I'll, in turn, do my best for the Cause by writing editorials- after the fact."

Marse Robert..I remember reading that quote years ago, but can't for the life of me remember where I read it!

It was Robert E. Lee, and in 1863. I think he made this statement when he offered his resignation to Jefferson Davis, on 8th August.

Best wishes,

Mark

Jim - Thank you for putting Abe Lincoln into Confederate Leaders Section but we don't want him (Probably wouldn't exchange a lame horse for him)
