Howard Burton Lee (October 27, 1879 – May 24, 1985), of Mercer County, served as the Republican Attorney General of West Virginia from 1925 to 1933.[1] His efforts to eliminate government corruption during that time helped to end the West Virginia Mine Wars.
Lee was born in Wirt County, West Virginia and graduated from Marshall College.[1] He wrote a number of books including Bloodletting in Appalachia, The Story of the Constitution, The Criminal Trial in the Virginias, and The Burning Springs and Other Tales of the Little Kanawha.[1] Lee died at the age of 105 at the Hobe Sound Geriatric Village nursing home in Stuart, Florida.[2]
