HEROES AND HEROINES OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION (Series)

LIGHT HORSE HARRY

by Idella Bodie

Henry “Light-Horse Harry” Lee distinguished himself as a cavalryman in the Revolutionary War. Lee was not a strong man.  He was said to be "light and agile."  The speed of his horse made up for his size.  Lee grew up on a plantation and knew how to select lightweight horses.  Their balance in twisting and turning in battle allowed soldiers to lean from their saddles and fight with sabers.  With this advantage the Legion, known as Lee's Legion, could defeat stronger enemies and succeed in battle. Lee's Legion eventually became part of General Nathanael Green's Continental Army. 

Henry Lee's son, Robert E. Lee, inherited his aptitude for military affairs.

This story of Henry Lee includes his early life, his work of seizing British Forts, and his years after the war.
