Lee @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } 3At West Point  Many young soldiers in fine uniforms stood in long rows. A famous French general had come to see the cadets at West Point.
It was July, 1825. Robert E. Lee had come to the Academy just a month before. Today he was in dress uniform for the first time.
It was an exciting day for Robert. The famous Frenchman was General Lafayette. He had fought in the American Revolution. He had helped George Washington and Light Horse Harry beat the English.
Robert had already met Lafayette. A few months before, the great man had visited Alexandria. After a big celebration he had called on the Lees. Robert was very proud.
Now Robert was at West Point to learn to be a soldier like Lafayette.
West Point was in New York. It was a beautiful place on the Hudson River. But life was hard for the cadets. The buildings were old and uncomfortable. The work was hard.
Cadet Lee got up at dawn. He had to study all morning and march on the parade field after lunch.
