I have a lot of history with General Robert E. Lee. Katee and I used to conduct walking tours in downtown Shreveport. The tours would start at the Confederate Memorial in front of the Caddo Parish Courthouse at 501 Texas Street. That memorial features the busts of four Confederate generals. Lee is one of them. I've stared at that memorial for dozens of hours.
The profile of Lee in the above painting is inspired by an oil painting by LM.D. Guillaume hanging at RW Norton Art Gallery in Shreveport www.rwnaf.org/collections/item?id=2569
Robert E. Lee had small feet and that put me in mind of that old saying about the size of a man's feet. Snopes says it's not true www.snopes.com/risque/penile/size.asp
