Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Virginia's Next Governor, Gen.: Fitzhugh Lee
If it be true that blood will tell, then may we claim for the subject of this sketch the advantage of as illustrious a lineage as ever fell to the lot of man.
For two centuries the Lees have been illustrious in the annals of the Old Dominion, have written their names upon the brightest pages of colonial and revolutionary history, have won highest honors in the path of glory that led to the halls of the Montezumas, and have filled the world with the fame of their great deeds in the war between the States.' A recent writer, skilled in tracing genealogies, has shown that they are directly descended from King Robert, the Bruce of Scotland, and have inherited all of his noble traits.
