THE SITES OF WAR-23
Wilmer McLeon's House

left Manassas to escape the
war; now the war was to end
in his parlor.
Inside, Lee rose to meet the
man he had Tended off for
nearly q year. Lee was
dressed in an immaculate uni
form. His sword was buckled
to his side. Standing there
poised and outwardly calm,
Lee left an imperishable picture
Of a gentleman-soldier. :.
The two men sat in Nc
Leans parlor, talking of the
Mexican War and old army
days. Grants staff officers
who had entered with him re-
manned at a respectful distance,
lining the walls Of the room.
After a time, Lee turned the
conversation to the business
at hand. Grant with quiet hu-
mility offered surrender terms
generous in every way. Of
ficers could keep their sidearms
and horses. Men in the rank
and file who owned horses or
mules could keep them. Grant
said, to work their little farms.
The terms Of surrender were
drafted in final form and Lee
and Grant signed them. The
business was completed by 4
pm.

came at Sayler's Greek on April
6, 1865, when Union troops, pur-
suing Lee from Petersburg, cap
tured virtually half the Con-
federate army.
Fruitless Effort
Lees retreat was q fruitless
effort to catch up with his
supplies, without which his
Army could not march. Sup
plies which were to have awaited
him at Amelia Court House had
been diverted to Richmond.
Lee pushed his Army on
toward Appomattox State,
where, again, supplies were to
be waiting. But Grants Army
won the race, and Lee decided
to surrender. A National Park
Service historian describes the
scene this way:
About 1870 pm, Grant
reached the edge Of Appomattox
Court House. He paused to ask
a group Of Union officers as
sembled there If Lee were pres
ent. One of them replied, Yes,
in that brick house.
Grant walked his horse to
the house and dismounted. He
wore the uniform of q common
soldier, which had tackled on
it the soiled shoulder straps
Of a lieutenant general. His
boots and uniform were mud
spattered. AS usual, he wore
no Sword-it was only an en-
cumbrance and he had no use
for it.
Grant climbed the steps of
Mclean House. Two years
earlier, Wilmer Mclean had
