Recounts the dramatic surrender of General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia in a new, illustrated edition. From the Pulitzer Prize winning author of Andersonville comes the story of an unforgettable moment in American history: the historic meeting between General Robert E. Lee and General Ulysses S. Grant that led to the surrender of Lee's Army of Northern Virginiaand ultimately to the end of the Civil War. MacKinlay Kantor's book for young readers captures all the emotions and drama of those few days in April 1865: Lee's mingled sorrow and relief, Grant's generosity toward his late opponent and the nearly starving Confederate soldiers; and the two commanders' negotiation of surrender terms intended to help heal the wounds of more than four years of the most violent conflict in American history.

Lee and Grant at Appomattox is one of many volumes from the Landmark Book series. This volume is a narrative of the written correspondence and spoken conversation between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee in the final days of the Civil War. Recognizing that further fighting was pointless, Lee officially surrendered to Grant on Palm Sunday, April 9th, 1865, thus concluding four years of unprecedented bloodshed. The book provides brief historical and personal profiles of Lee and Grant: Lee was formal and dignified; Grant was quiet and reserved. We also learn about Wilmer McLean and the strange but true story of how the Civil War opened in his front yard (First Bull Run, July, 1861) and concluded in his front parlor; McLean moved away from his house near Bull Run to avoid further damage to his property only to have several pieces of furniture removed from his house by souvenir-gathering Union officers upon the conclusion of hostilities! Though written at an elementary school level, this book is a well done portrayal of how two gentlemen ended the Civil War and started the process of mending the Union.
