Sheridan's account of Lee's surrender at Appomattox

General Sheridan recounts the final days of the Virginia campaign. He details orders to intercept Lee near Burkesville Junction, dispatches for 300000 rations, and a split cavalry move that pressed toward Sailor's Creek and Appomattox Court House.
