Connelly, Thomas L. The Marble Man: Robert E. Lee and His Image in American
            Society.

Baton Rouge, LA: Louisiana State University Press, 1977.

Thomas L. Connelly in The Marble Man: Robert E. Lee and His Image in American Society explores the image of Lee that writers created during the Reconstruction years through the 1961-65 Civil War Centennial.

Connelly is convinced that Robert E. Lee became an American legend only after so many writers portrayed him in that light. His great feats and successes were exaggerated, while his disappointments were minimized. For these reasons, Connelly feels Lee’s true biography and history has yet to be written, and this is what he hopes to do with The Marble Man.

Thomas Lawrence Connelly was a professor of history at the University of South Carolina for several years and is also an author or coauthor of several books on the Civil War.
