#StillnessAtAppomattox: View from the front porch of the McLean House, looking north. The well house is on the right. In 1865, the distant tree line was not there. Instead, the open fields and buildings of the Tibbs farm would have visible. #CivilWar #FindYourPark #APX156

#DYK: Though no photographers were present at Appomattox CH on April 9, 1865, this image of Confederate prisoners, captured the week before, gives us an idea of how many of Gen Robert E. Lee's soldiers were uniformed and equipped during the Appomattox Campaign. #CivilWar #APX156

#DYK: Soldiers from every Confederate state surrendered with the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House. However, of these roughly 30,000 soldiers, more than 1/2 hailed from just 3 states: Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia. #CivilWar #APX156

During the Appomattox Campaign, Custer commanded a division of about 3,000 Federal cavalry. His troops captured Confederate supply trains, artillery, and prisoners at Appomattox Station on the evening of April 8, 1865, blocking Lee's army's continued retreat. #CivilWar #APX156

#OTD in 1865 Robert E Lee is indicted for treason against the United States by a Federal grand jury. Gen Ulysses S Grant, viewing this as a violation of the terms of surrender, threatens to resign if Lee is arrested. President Johnson soon quashes the indictment #CivilWar #APX156

#OTD in 1865, the CSS Stonewall surrenders to Spanish authorities at Havana, Cuba. The ironclad commerce raider had been constructed in France and commissioned in the Danish navy before being sold to the Confederacy in Jan. 1865. She never fired a shot in anger. #CivilWar #APX156
