The Surrender Room

on Thursday, July 30, 2009



When Betsy and I were in Virginia in 2007, we stopped at Appomattox Court House, the site of Robert E. Lee's surrender to Ulysses S. Grant. This is the room in the MacLean House in which the two met. Robert E. Lee sat at the table on the left, while U. S. Grant sat at the table on the right.
