Notes Concerning the Author
Charles Pierce Roland was born in Tennessee in 1918. He is a decorated combat veteran of World War II, was for many years professor of history at the University of Kentucky, and has been called “one of
America’s most respected and distinguished historians of the Civil War and the American South.”
Our Review
History Teaches . . . is a collection of articles and speeches which ranges over Southern history, but concentrates most importantly on the War between the States, and in particular recent historians’ attacks on Robert E. Lee. Roland’s
work is truly that of a master historian‐‐‐balanced, sensible, profound, and broad in scope and
understanding.
Readers might also be interested in his The Confederacy, published in 1960.
