520 _a"Custis-Lee Mansion: The Robert E. Lee Memorial, Virginia" by Murray H. Nelligan is a historical account published in the mid-20th century that details the history and significance of the Custis-Lee Mansion, located in Arlington, Virginia. The book covers the life of General Robert E. Lee and the mansion that served as both his home and a memorial to his legacy. It provides a thorough exploration of the estate's history, including its construction, ownership, and transformation during critical moments in American history, particularly the Civil War. The book intricately chronicles the history of the Custis-Lee Mansion, beginning with its construction by George Washington Parke Custis, Lee's father-in-law, and the strong ties it has to the Lee family. It details the atmosphere of the estate, the life of Robert E. Lee from his childhood bonds with Mary Custis to his military legacy during the Civil War, and how the mansion became a symbol of his memory after the war. The narrative also addresses the changes Arlington underwent, including its transformation into a national cemetery, and the enduring significance of the mansion as a historical site honoring Lee's contributions and character. Overall, this book serves as an informative resource for those interested in American history, particularly the Civil War era and the figures associated with it.
