ROBERT E. LEE CDV, " ONE OF A KIND "

Description: SEVERAL YEARS A GO I WAS PACKING SOME BOOKS GETTING READY FOR A MOVE BACK TO MEMPHIS, WHEN THIS CDV FELL OUT OF A BOOK I HAD ON GENERAL LEE, MY FRIEND, RAFEAL ELEDGE OF SHILOH RELICS AND I WENT TO CHURCH TOGETHER, I SHOWED IT TO HIM AFTER CHURCH THE NEXT SUNDAY HE SAID IT AS REAL. I DIDN'T NOTICE AT THE TIME IT SAID MAJ. GEN. LEE, WRITTEN IN PERIOD INK, BUT IF YOU LOOK REAL CLOSE WRITTEN IN LIGHT PENCIL IT SAYS, " TAKEN FROM ARLINGTON HOUSE". NOW LEE NEVER ROSE ABOVE COLONEL IN THE U.S. ARMY, ONLY AN OFFICER IN THE U.S. ARMY WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT, IF LEE HAD TAKEN COMMAND OF THE U.S. FORCES WHEN IT WAS OFFERED TO HIM, HE WOULD HE HAVE RISEN TO THE RANK OF MAJ. GEN.! WHEN THE UNION FORCES MOVED ACROSS FROM WASHINGTON THEY INVADED LEE'S HOME, STEALING EVERYTHING THAT WAS, AND WASN'T NAILED DOWN. LEE'S WIFE WAS A DESCENDENT OF GEORGE WASHINGTON'S WIFE, AND HAD INHERITED ALL OF THE FIRST PRESIDENT'S TREASURES, ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE TAKEN. I GUESS THIS OFFICER DECIDED THE ONLY SPOILS OF WAR FOR HIM WAS THIS CDV! I HAVE THOUGHT MANY TIMES ABOUT SENDING IT BACK TO THE MUSEUM AT ARLINGTON, I WENT THROUGH IT MANY YEARS AGO, BUT IT WOULD JUST END UP IN A DISPLAY CASK WITH NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT IT IS. I EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT SENDING IT BACK TO ONE OF GEN. LEE'S DESCENDANTS, BUT AGAIN HE WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT, SO I A AM PUTTING IT UP FOR SALE. THE PRICE IS HIGH, BUT IT IS A ONE OF A KIND, IT DOES HAVE THE ANTHONY BACK MARK, HE GOT THE ORIGINAL NEGATIVE FROM MATTHEW BRADEY. I PAY SHIPPING AND INSURANCE,
