Confedup, This is another attack on our people and our heritage. Have you read "Lee: The Abridgment" by Douglas Southall Freeman? It is Lee's biography. After the War of Northern Aggression, Lee became President of Washington College in Lexington, Virginia. Page 557. Lee had SAVED MONEY all of his life. "He was so successful in his thrift and invested wisely in good securties. Never so poor a man as he was supposed to be after the war, he died worth some $88,000."  At that point in time, there was NO railroad service in Lexington. The nearest railroad connection was in Goshen, which was twenty three miles away. Lee's gave his active support to The Valley Railroad Company. The Baltimore and Ohio was interested in the area. He went to Baltimore with a delegation to meet with officials of the company. They finally got a railroad connection. It helped the college, the town, and the area. Teresa
