APP0MATT0X APPLE
TREE STORY A MYTH
Famous Tale of Lees Surrender to
Grant Branded as Such.

The old apple tree at AppomattoS
Is largely myth. There was an apple
tree, but no conference between Gen.
eral Lee and General Grant took place
under it and no surrender was effected
under it. Judge Thomas c. Jones of
Montgomery, Ala, who was an officer
on the STAFF of General John B. Cor
don, who was present at AppomattoX,
says that the popular idea current some
years ago of a surrender under an APP
pie tree was altogether wrong.
1.-THE apple tree never figured in it at
all" said Judge Jones, except to this
slight extent: In the morning of the
day of the surrender General Lee sent
q flag of truce to General Grant. While
he was waiting the return of his mes
senger to General Grant he sat down
on the roots of an old apple tree and
waited awhile. Long before the mes.
senger returned he had left the apple
tree and was at the Mclean farm
house, where he and General Grant
held their conference and where the
final surrender was effected The old
opDiS wv va puiShiy Sub uON anu
cut to pieces by relic hunters. and
something like fifty other apple trees
In the orchard were cut to pieces. The
pieces were later made up and sold in
various forms through the country.
This probably encouraged the fallacy
that Grant and Lee had sat under the
apple tree. But the two generals met
at the Mclean farmhouse.
"My vivid recollection of the Apo
mattox surrender is seeing General
Lee come out of his headquarters on
that final morning and mount Old
Traveller, his famous horse. He was
Immediately dressed. At his side he
wore the handsome sword given him
by the people of Virginia. He was
buried in deep thought and as he
mounted his horse he clapped his hands
absentmindedly together. The private
soldiers crowded about the horse and
begged him for information. l heard
him say to the men crowding about
him: we have fought the war
through. 1t is now all over"
