the last battle of the civil war location
The Battle of Palmito Ranch, also known as the Battle of Palmito Hill, has been claimed by some as the final battle of the American Civil War. It was fought May 12 and 13, 1865, on the banks of the Rio Grande east of Brownsville, Texas and a few miles from the seaport of Los Brazos de Santiago, more than a month after Robert E. Lee had surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant.
