Author Talk with Jonathan Horn of "The Man Who Would Not Be Washington"

Presented by Museums on the Green (operated by the Falmouth Historical Society) at Falmouth Museums on the Green

On the eve of the Civil War, one soldier embodied the legacy of George Washington and the hopes of leaders across a divided land. Both North and South knew Robert E. Lee as the son of Washington’s most famous eulogist and the son-in-law of Washington’s adopted child. Lee was a brilliant soldier bound by marriage to Washington’s family but ultimately turned by war against Washington’s crowning achievement, the Union. Former White House speechwriter Jonathan Horn follows Lee through married life, military glory, and misfortune. The story that emerges is more complicated, more tragic, and more illuminating than the familiar tale.This event is sponsored by The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod.
