Surrender at Appomattox and a Falls Rescue Report
General Lee and General Grant meet at the McLean house after Lee agrees to terms of surrender. Lee's forces total about 7,862 infantry, 2,100 cavalry, and 63 artillery, facing Grant's 107,496. The piece also notes Edward Lyndon’s near fatal fall at Talullah Falls and his eventual recovery, plus a short local medical advertisement praising Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
