This biographical portrait by a well known Civil War historian
brings much deserved attention to an exceptional Confederate
military figure who became one of the New South's most progressive
leaders.
Herman Hattaway's clear, swift narrative depicts Lee in
brilliant performance at Second Manassas, Chickasaw Bayou,
Nashville, and after the war as a leader who used his military
skills and discipline to work in bringing prosperity and education
into the defeated South.
After the war Lee established a home in Mississippi and found
fulfillment in his calling to be the first president of Mississippi
A & M College (today Mississippi State University), where he
preached the message of applying brain power to farming. His
admirers bestowed upon him the title "Father of Industrial
Education in the South."
Though the significance of Stephen D. Lee was long overlooked in
historical perspectives of the Civil War and the development of the
New South, Hattaway's appreciative study has remedied a case of
unintended neglect by previous historians.
