It was President Eisenhower's opinion that only a few individuals should be classified as great Americans. One was George Washington. Portraits of two others, both from the War-between-the-States era, hung side-by-side in the Eisenhower White House. One portrait pictured President Abraham Lincoln; the other pictured General Robert E. Lee.
(See Ike's Letters To A Friend, edited by Robert Griffith, p. 140; Eisenhower Declassified by Virgil Pinkley with James F. Scheer, p. 275.) |
