Lees Last Council of War.

He had just read a eulogy of Gordon, in the
Constitution where Gordon the only hero of
AppomattoX, and he wrathy at the injustice
to Longstreet
He said he was in Lees tent, when the last
council of war was held the night before Appomat-
tox surrender. After the officers left, he asked
Longstreet to remain. Lee said he obliged to
quit, as he was surrounded and without food or
clothes for the soldiers, but he would not accept
for himself ignoble terms of surrender. He pro-
posed to cut his way to the mountains of Virginia
with Fields troops, and die, escape that way.
On this decision, there was no alternative pre-
