One of my recent commissions was the design of a 25-page booklet (and cover) for South River Books' reprint of a very rare sermon titled, "Lee the Christian Hero." This oration was originally delivered by the Reverend Randolph H. McKim at the Lee Memorial Church in Lexington, Virginia on January 20th, 1907, marking Lee's 100th birthday (January 19th, 1807). The Reverend Dr. Randolph H. McKim was a Confederate Staff Officer, Episcopalian Minister, and author. This new, limited reprint commemorates Lee's 200th birthday, and was released on "Lee-Jackson Day" in the Commonwealth of Virginia. After selling out in a matter of hours, it was determined that another Limited Edition version could be just as successful. Therefore additional copies are being made available only through 2007. This new Limited Edition also includes a biographical sketch of Reverend McKim as written by noted author and historian Richard G. Williams Jr. A portion of the proceeds received from this booklet are going towards funds for restoring and maintaining the original organ at Lee Chapel. For more information on this booklet and other Lee-related publications, visit South River Books.
