With Lee in Virginia

Adventure stories don't get any better than this! Plus, the reader is drinking in history without even trying! Even though G. A. Henty authored these books in the late 19th century, and the stories are set hundreds of years before that, the tales he tells are timeless. Bravery, chivalry, heroism, leadership, faithfulness, determination and wisdom abound in these reprints. In some of the stories, the advance or defense of Christianity is also an important part of the story. These books were originally written for boys, but anyone young or old who enjoys a good adventure story will want to read these. Available in hardbound, softcover and "featherweight" (mass market) editions.

Please note that we offer Henty books from two different publishers. We are listing them chronologically regardless of publisher. The hardcovers and softcovers differ in price between the publishers, so they are marked as being either Oregon Institute (O) or Library & Educational Services (L).

We also offer audios from two different companies. Please see descriptions for these products directly after all of the Henty novels.

A young Virginian planter and his widowed mother struggle to maintain their plantation in the face of the Civil War. Henty has chosen a protagonist that cares well for his slaves, and risks his life and reputation defending other slaves against abuse. Serving under Lee and Jackson during the war, he maintains his convictions and appreciation for slavery and slaves.
