General Robert E. Lee, born (in 1807) to be realized in triumphal frieze, was given the nickname "Marble Man" by his peers at Westpoint. His papa was the governor of Virginia, a certain Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee, descendant of Sir Thomas More and the Earls of Crawford, and confidant of George Washington, who was, incidentally, great grandfather to Robert's wife, Mary Anna Randolph Custis Lee.
