Four Years Under Marse Robert is a memoir written by Robert Stiles, a Confederate soldier who fought in the American Civil War.

Throughout the book, Stiles describes the hardships and challenges that he faced as a soldier, including the physical and emotional toll of combat, the difficulties of living in camp, and the constant fear of death.Despite the hardships, Stiles remained committed to the Confederate cause and was deeply loyal to his commander, General Robert E. Lee, whom he affectionately referred to as Marse Robert. Stiles' admiration for Lee is a recurring theme throughout the book, and he often reflects on the general's leadership and character.Overall, Four Years Under Marse Robert is a compelling and insightful memoir that offers a unique perspective on the Civil War. It provides a firsthand account of the experiences of a Confederate soldier and offers valuable insights into the motivations, beliefs, and experiences of those who fought in the war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
