Philip Henry Sheridan

0/5 ( ratings)

On the 12th of April, 1865, the Army of Northern Virginia marched to the field in front of Appomattox Court-House, stacked their arms, folded their colors, and walked empty handed to find their distant, blighted homes.

These are detailed and moving first-hand accounts from a number of historically prominent witnesses to Robert E. Lee's surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox. Accounts from:

Major-General Wesley Merritt, USA

Colonel Charles Marshall, Aide-de-camp and Military Secretary to General R. E. Lee, CSA
Brigadier-General E. P. Alexander, CSA
Lt. General James Longstreet, CSA
General Phil Sheridan, USA
