THUS the war passed, with much

until the ninth day of April, 1865,
when we were engaged in battle at
Appomattox. We saw the flag of

cease firing, then we awaited with
bated breath for long hours. All az
once we caught sight of man riding
along the line, white flag in hand. and
the cry was echoed, Lee has surren-
dered!' The shout was taken up and
passed along the lines, Lee has sur
rendered! Lee has surrendered!
Never before was seen such a waving
OF hats, such shouting and hallooing
as was seen upon the field of Lees
surrender on that historical day.
II don't know how my comrades
felt, but as for myself l felt as IL I
had nothing to live for II Lee sur.
rendered. l was not sorry that the
war was at close, but was think
ing of Grant, the man who had US in
his power, and felt sure we would
all be lodged in prison for the rest
of our lives. You can imagine my
feelings tof horror at the thought of
being shut up in a dreary prison for
life.
But we were ordered to stack arms
and march to the courthouse. and
there, when the treaty of peace was
signed, that noble man, General Grant.
gave each of us a pass, told US to
take our horses. and go home to our
families.
II felt then, as I do now, that there
never was more kind and generous
man ever lived than General Grant.
I'VE took our passes and reached
home without much difficulty, subsist-
ing sometimes on corn, parched, that
we dug from out the frozen grmnd
where our horses had been fed. On
our way home we came to an old mill
where a small boy was grinding his
last bushel of corn for his old par.
ents, but we took half of It, in spite of
his supplications to the contrary,
ground itNinto hominy, and poured wa.
ter in 1t. and baked It on a fat rock:
but l thought never before or since
tasted anything SO delicious.
