Grant Tells the War, Part 08: Appomattox
As part of their preparation to co-author their book Unconditional Surrender: Ulysses S. Grant in the Civil War, Chris Mackowski and Curt Fields (as U.S. Grant) sat down to talk about the war from Grant’s perspective. The result was a nine-part series that served as the outline for Unconditional Surrender, published by Savas Beatie as part of the Emerging Civil War Series.
This episode follows the road to Appomattox Court House and ends with the surrender of Robert E. Lee in the parlor of Wilmer McLean.
