Photos from Appomattox & Lexington


Grave sites of 18 Confederates and 1 Union soldier who died in a brief fight on April 9th before the surrender. Made it to the last day and then got killed.
Brilliant punctuation from the bathroom stall at Appomattox.
The McLean house where Lee surrendered to Grant. 

Can't be true.
Stonewall Jackson at VMI. 
See the bullet hole in the left arm of Stonewall's jacket. That's the one that doomed the Confederacy. 
Virginia Mourning Her Dead - for the VMI soldiers lost in the war. 
Perhaps this is why tempers were short during the war. Another degree and I was going to cold-cock Wadley. 
Lee's Chapel at Washington & Lee University. No pictures inside...bummer.
Not sure if I was allowed to take these, but I did.

Ryan paying his respects to Traveller - Lee's horse. I meant to bring an apple, but never got to a grocery. Too cheap to give my hard-earned change to a dead horse.
