appomattox: Appomattox Court House National Historic Park
- 02/22/08 09:14 PM
Following the fall of Petersburg and Richmond in early April 1865, Robert E. Lee led his exhausted Army of Northern Virginia on a fighting retreat west. The goal was to link up with Gen. Joseph Johnston and his Army of Tennessee near Danville, but Ulysses S. Grant's forces harried the Rebels at every step. On April 6, the Battle of Sailor's Creek cost Lee 7,000 Confederate men, one-fifth of the remaining ranks, including Lee's son Custis and seven other generals who were captured. The next day, Lee refused Grant's request for a discussion of surrender, saying he would rather "die a … (4 comments)
appomattox: Ya Think It's Time To Move When A Bullet Tears Through the Kitchen?
- 02/22/08 11:35 AM
That's what happened to Wilmer McLean in the summer of 1861. Two huge armies were clashing on his farm near Manassas, and it seemed like the fighting might go on for a long time. Declaring he hoped "never to see another soldier," McLean took his family south and west to where he thought the war would never reach - to the dusty burg of Appomattox Court House, where on April 9, 1865 Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant in McLean's living-room, ending the Civil War. As Wilmer later said, "The war began in my front yard and … (5 comments)
appomattox: Lynchburg and Vicinity History
- 02/21/08 12:30 PM
Virginia's classic tobacco town goes by a few different monikers. As the "City of Seven Hills," Lynchburg (pop. 66,000) bulges with lofty historic districts and stately inns. As the center of Virginia's conservative religious heartland, it's also called the "Buckle in the Bible Belt," with more than 130 houses of worship, Jerry Falwells's Liberty University, Dial-the-Bible listings in the White Pages, and radio preachers who end every sentence in "-uh." (The years 2002 was Falwell's 46th year preaching at the Thomas Road Baptist Church.) Even its tourist slogan "The Real Virginia" rings true thanks to Lynchburg's combination of the new (ideas … (0 comments)
appomattox: Finding A Future In The Past - Appomattox County
- 02/15/08 10:45 PM
Of all the areas surrounding the independent city of Lynchburg, Appomattox County may have the most drawing power for Civil War Buffs. It has a heritage that no one else can claim. Emblazoned proudly on signs at the county line are the words Appomattox - Where Our Nation Reunited. The signs invite a nation of tourists to unite again, revisiting the events of 1865, when Gen. Robert E. Lee handed his sword to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at the McLean House. In a way, Wilmer McLean has become a metaphor for Appomattox County's initial attitude toward its place in history. McLean was living … (0 comments)
