American Experience

Today is Robert E. Lee's birthday. I celebrated by watching this video biography on the American Experience website. Very well done. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/lee/player/

an interesting fellow ... but remember what happened to his front yard...

by the way, thanks for the post - i will probably watch the whole thing when i get up from feeding the animals.

in the north, it's history, but in the south, it's politics...

just one guy's opinion, mind you. :wink:

He was a great American, and one of the very greatest Virginians.

watched it (after feeding the animals, as i said i would) and i was surprised at the even - handedness of WGBH and the whole PBS bunch. my experience with their work has, in the past, indicated a political agenda which trumps accurate reportage of fact, but in this case i will give them their due.
