Dedication of Stratford Hall as a public museum coincided with the publication of this book. Substantial research for the book supported by the Robert E. Lee Foundation (founded in 1929) was assisted by Yale University, the Library of Congress, and a long list of contributors (p.ix-xv). Probably funded through WPA funds as the scholarship grossly exceeds a reasonable length for a merely dedicatory keepsake..Stratford Hall is a historic house museum near Lerty in Westmoreland County, Virginia. It was the plantation house of four generations of the Lee family of Virginia (with descendants later to expand to Maryland and other states). Stratford Hall is the boyhood home of two Founding Fathers of the United States and signers of the United States Declaration of Independence, Richard Henry Lee (1732–1794), and Francis Lightfoot Lee (1734–1797). Stratford Hall is also the birthplace of Robert E. Lee (1807–1870), who was General in Chief of the Armies of the Confederate States during the American Civil War (1861–1865). The Stratford Hall estate was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960, under the care of the National Park Service in the U.S. Department of the Interior.
