Description

The account of the War between the States found in With Lee in Virgina, written as it was from a Southern perspective by Mr. Henty - an Englishman living at the time - offers the reader fresh insight into those tragic times. Henty intertwines the story of Vincent Wingfield, the young hero, with portraits of Lee and his officers and accounts of important battles.

Vincent, as a member of an old Virginia family, joins up as a scout attached to Ashby’s cavalry troop. His sense of justice ensures that he finds himself in a number of difficult situations, but as his courage and resourcefulness never fail him, he brings each crisis to a successful resolution. Our young Virginia planter, after bravely proving his sympathy with the slaves of brutal masters, serves with no less courage and enthusiasm under Lee and Jackson through the most exciting events of the struggle. He has many hairbreadth escapes, is several times wounded, and twice taken prisoner; but his courage and readiness and the devotion of a black servant and a runaway slave whom he had assisted, bring him safely through all difficulties.
