When Robert E. Lee took command.....

"But,  other than a brief mention of the disparity between the states, Foote makes no mention of Jeff Davis having to patch things up.  He goes into considerable detail in other areas so it's odd he wouldn't mention it, but on the other hand he wrote his history in 1963 so perhaps the information wasn't available to him."


Writing in 1963 means he would have had greater access to source material. jonny
