POLLARD ON LEES SURRENDER
Pollard in his forthcoming history of
"The Fourth Year of the War;" says !:
There can be no doubt in history
that Gen. Lee, in taking his army
away from Richmond and Petersburg,
had decided, in bis own mind, upon
the hopeIessness Of the war, and had
predetermined it's surrender. The
most striking proof of this is, that on
his retreat there was no order pub
lished against straggling-a thing
unprecedented in all deliberate and
strategetic retreats-and nothing
whatever done to maintain discipline.
The men were not animated by the
style of general orders usual on such
occasions. They struggled and deser-
ted almost at will. An idea ran
through the Virginia troops, that with
the abandonment OF Richmond the
war was hopeless, and that they would
be justified in refusing to fight outside
the limits of the State. Nothing was
done to check the notorious circulation
of this notion in the army. The Vir-
ginia troops, scattered off to their
homes at almost every mile of the
route. We have seen that Pickett
was left with only handful Of men,
Some Of the brigade commanders
had not hesitated to advise their men
that the war was virtually over, and
that they had better go home and
"make crops"
But there are other proofs, besides
the omission of the measures against
struggling usual on retreats that Gen.
Lee had previssd surrender of his
army. He carried off from Petersburg
and Richmond all the transportation Of
his army, sufficient, perhaps, for 1907
600 men, certainly largely in excess
of the actual needs of the retreat.
The excessive number of Virginia
troops who were permitted to drop
out Of the ranks and reurn to their
homes, shows very we'll that there was
no firm purpose to carry the war out
of the limits Of that State. Prisoners
taken on the retreat invariably repor-
ted that the army was soon to be
halted for a surrender; and Gen.
Curtis Lee, when captured by the en-
envy, is alleged to have made the
same revelation of his fathers designs.
