Burke Davis' biography of Lee is titled Gray Fox. It's been a while since I read it, but Davis' Civil War books are usually pretty good.

Geez, 8 bucks for a coloring book in the early 80s is crazy. I wonder how many pages it had.

Barbara Bach would make you gladly hand it over.

The Civil War: A Narrative by Shelby Foote is the finest narrative history of the civil war ever written.
I also second this guy ^ anything by Douglas Southall Freeman will be great.

And I highly recommend Gray Ghost about John Singleton Mosby as well. It circles around the Confederate campaigns as well.

The forbearing use of power does not only form a touchstone, but the manner in which an individual enjoys certain advantages over others is a test of a true gentleman.
The power which the strong have over the weak, the employer over the employed, the educated over the unlettered, the experienced over the confiding, even the clever over the silly--the forbearing or inoffensive use of all this power or authority, or a total abstinence from it when the case admits it, will show the gentleman in a plain light
The gentleman does not needlessly and unnecessarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him. He cannot only forgive, he can forget; and he strives for that nobleness of self and mildness of character which impart sufficient strength to let the past be but the past. A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others.

The man had one of the greatest strategic minds ever.. and the core of his thinking was base on the conservation of humanity, which is one of the reasons he was willing to surrender
