Lee Monument

As evening gathered over the battlefield at Sharpsburg, I drove down the pike from Boonesboro en route to a "Freedom Run". Off to my right in a clearing, was this most impressive equestrian statue of Robert E. Lee. The tribute upon the base accredited him with out-maneuvering a force twice his size and fighting to a draw. It said that although he was personally against secession and slavery, he cast his lot with his home and the South for the right of self determination.
