Appomattox

by Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain

Originally published in 1903

An account of the last battle of the Civil War, as witnessed by one of its heroes. Chamberlain was accorded the honor of receiving the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia, following the signing by Grant and Lee of the surrender documents at Appomattox, Virginia in April of 1865.

A poignant and moving reminiscence of the end of the War through the eyes of a literate and poetic soldier, one who witnessed the best and the worst in the great battles from Gettysburg to Appomattox.
