[QUOTE="Alan, post: 219129, member: 12333"] On another note years ago when I was researching Lee's surrender I found a series of books on The War Of Rebellion. In there were copies of the letters between Grant and Lee. They are interesting to read and a look at the thoughts of these two men. I always find reading peoples own words much better than reading the history someone else wrote about them. Another example is that Meade felt he was going to be defeated at Gettysburg. On the third day he pretty much fled Gettysburg when the bombardment began and when he returned was surprised to find the army had repulsed the attack. You don't find that much in the history books. I digress...The Lee letters are now online here [url=http://www.civilwar.org/battlefields/appomattox-courthouse/appomattox-court-house-history/surrender.html]Grant & Lee:[/url] [/QUOTE]
