eventually headed for Appomattox Station on the South Side RR, where 2
trains of rations had been positioned. The Union Cavalry captured the
trains and Lee, unable to recapture them, had to surrender at the nearby
Court House. This photo
of the station was taken in June 1865. (From Civil-War-Photos.com) |
