Robert E. Lee had a reputation as one of the finest officers in the United States Army. Therefore, Abraham Lincoln offered Lee the command of the federal forces in April 1861.

The first grant was also open specifically to frame restoration projects, and was awarded to the Museums at Washington and Lee University, in Lexington Virginia, for the frame on a 1779 portrait of the Marquis de Lafayette, by Charles Willson Peale, 49 x 40 inches ....
