let's wrap it up at the lee house. which has got some great stuff. once lee arrived in richmond kind of bad timing. he arrived on april 15, 1865. bad day to be showing up in richmond. the news of lincoln's death is crossing the globe. interesting point, and i cannot prove they are connected but the news was embargoed a whole day. it did not get to richmond until april 16. i believe the reason was they wanted to make sure he got into the city without incident. one can imagine a scenario where he was met by a hostile crowd. all the photographers could do, he has all the windows shut. the first news he gets, he comes back to this house. the end of his military career. he takes off his uniform and hugs his wife. and then somebody comes and tells him the president is dead. can you imagine? he is not seeing anybody until matthew brady shows up and convinces him, one last time to put on the uniform and show the world. if matthew brady is photographing you behind your home it is over. this is the general working with brady to deliberately construct an image

he was buried in front of the what was then the lee house, but is now the arlington house. if you go to arlington house the former robert ely mansion you turn around the most amazing views of washington dc you can imagine. the marquee to lafayette said it was the most amazing view in the world. it may not be the most amazing view in the world, that it is interesting. a tribute to l'enfant he is buried in a place with an amazing view of his own creation. and not in the district. [laughter]he is in for genia. and if you try to visit his grave, it is overlooking the jfk eternal flame. you have to illegally step over the rope and scamper across the grounds. the only thing left, in terms of l'enfant's life, a right of narrative, is it has an amazing shape. when we talk about narrative shapes and arts when we teach writing, there is a rise from humble beginnings to the personal city planner of the patron george washington, and the creation of this. there is a fall to the point that no one is exactly sure which remains were his. there is a fall. seven years after the work of the v

lee actually goes to the white house and meets the newest occupant. and so you can only imagine what that meeting must have been like for robert e. lee. yes. >> so you say that he had this peculiaral meant for looking at topography. to the gettysburg fiasco -- >> right. >> -- where he did not take his lieutenants' advisements under consideration. do you believe that his personality of holding things in and being in control and being overwhelmed with the loss of stonewall jackson just before had anything to do with his poor decision making? >> well lee certainly looks back at gettysburg and has never given explanations for why gettysburg has failed. he says he's not getting good intelligence because jeb stewart has disappeared. jeb stewart as some of you know lee's cavalry commander and he goes on, basically a joyride before gettysburg, and lee relies on him for intelligence. he believes his corps commanders don't act in unison and even picket's charge could have succeeded if they had proper artillery support but no one told him they were running low af

he lives in a house and i told him i thought it would suit. i sent him back to bring general lee who was coming up behind. i went into the house and's debt down. after a while, general lee and thatbabcock came along. so, general lee babcock and myself sat down in mclean's parlor and taught in an amicable way. we often hear of general lee's attire when this meeting took place. he had dressed himself in a very sought lists almost new confederate uniform at 1:00 a.m. complete with leather boots, feingold spores -- fine gold spurs. when the general saw him, and inquired why he was so tired it he said, i want to leave my best possible appearance. is this the confidence of a man that thinks his men could break through the federal lines? or is this reality? well, what do we know about mr. mclean and the people who lived in that house? one was age 50. i would consider wilmer and opportunities. he had married his wife, who at this point was four months pregnant. other children were living at the house and the time. i'm sure that all ladies would welcome a bunch of military officers with m

and went to the arlington national cemetery and he was buried in front of what was then called the lee house which is now the arlington house. if you go there to arlington house, you turn around and see one of the most amazing views of washington dc you can imagine. it was described as the most amazing view in the world. it might not be the most amazing view in the world, but it is interesting and i talk about the book about how that is a tribute to pierre l'enfant that he was buried in a place with this view but he is also not in the district. [laughter] it's also ironic because if you try to visit his grave but at one point it was overlooking the jfk eternal flame and you have to kind of illegally step over a row can scamper -- step over a rope and scamper on the grass. the only thing left here in terms of his life is one of the things that narratively drew a brighter narrative is that it really has this amazing shape to his life when we talk about narrative shapes and arts. there is a rise from quite humble beginnings and the creation of this. there is a fall to the point that no one is e
