Rebel Graves Remembrance At Civil War Surrender
Spokane witnesses recounts of Lee surrender scenes and the jubilation that followed. George Stormes recalls crowds rejoicing as the war seemed ended, and reports digging 137 Confederate graves near the courthouse uncovering 137 unspiked cannons. He notes the surrender site differed from the courthouse. Stormes, veteran of the One Hundred Twenty fourth, adds details from post surrender days. A separate report mentions Dublin considering a sweeping Irish language education reform to make Irish the spoken language.
