General Lee was a man who opposed the war, yet was offered command of both the Northern and Southern Armies. He opposed Slavery, yet fought for the south when Union troops entered Virginia. Lee inherited a slave, William Mac Lee, and the General promptly freed him. William chose to stay by Lee's side through out the war, and later described Lee as "The finest man ever born to woman". Lee was a man of deep conviction, and placed duty above all else. After watching the stunning confederate victory at the Battle of Fredericksburg, Lee is reported as saying, "It is well that war is so terrible -- lest we should grow too fond of it."

Pancho Villa

Pancho Villa is an enigma. Primarily remembered as a bandit today, he was in fact a populist revolutionary fighting for the people. He was the only military leader to invade the mainland of the United States in the 1900's. In 1916 he crossed the border and attacked Columbus, New Mexico. In response, the United States sent General John Pershing into Mexico to track the man down. After two years, he gave up, unable to find the noted revolutionary. Pancho Villa is said to have had the habit of having an ice cream cone before executing his enemies. Eventually, he was assassinated by his own associates. His last words . . . "dont let it end like this, tell them I said something good." What I notice in studying the man, in all the photographs of him, he has an interesting twinkle in his eye.
