Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 17. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), At Lee's tomb. (search)
ses into history. There we leave him to the judgment of another generation, that standing afar off may see some things more clearly than we. When the historian of future ages comes to write the history of the great republic he will give the first place to that War of the Revolution by which our country gained its independence and took its place among the nations of the earth; and the second to the late civil war, which, begun for separation, ended in a closer and consolidated Union. That was the last act in the great drama of our nation's life, in which history cannot forget the part that was borne by him whose silent form lies within this sepulchre. As I took a last look at the sarcophagus I observed that it bore no epitaph; no words of praise were carved upon the stone; only a name, Robert Edward Lee. with the two dates, born January 19, 1807; died October 12, 1870. That is all, but it is enough; all the rest may be left to the calm, eternal judgment of history.
