Ty Seidule’s Robert E Lee and Me - A Southerner’s Reckoning with the Myth of Lost Cause is a confessional, evangelical, autobiographical, and historical reminiscence of his upbringing and life as a United States Army Officer. Seidule had an “awakening” after earning a PhD in history from Ohio State University in 1997 and becoming a permanent history professor at the United States Military Academy. As a result, of his awakening an alternate book title could be “Myth of the Lost Cause - I Was Blind, But Now I See.”
