Sheridan's Story Of Appomattox'

The description Of the events succeed
ing the first announcement OF Lees sur
render, which is given in the article by
later General Sheridan, published In the
September number Of the North American
Review, will be found most interesting
on to readers Of the literature Of the war.
It differs very materially from that which
has been published by General Gorden, as
we'll as from other published accounts.
Sheridan's cavalry had been brought up
into position to cut of Lees retreat from
Appomattox, and on the morning OF April
8 had sharp engagement with the ad.
vance guard Of Lees army. Before night
the confederatss we're driven back to the
vicinity Of Appomattox Court House. and
tho general feeling throughout Sheridan's
command was that the morrow would end
the matter. The fighting was, however
renewed the next morning, and Sheridan
was soon opposite Appomsttox Court
House, at some distance TO the enemys
