You are correct and this is 5th and final Long Road Home event in 2015.
You would have been welcomed here too. I think a lot of that happened in my state.Others as well to the west. Brother against brother at times. It was a dark time for our country.
One thing I don't know if many know. If Lee had been able to slip out of Appomattox the fighting would have continued for years perhaps. Some did get out and came across the Staunton River just down stream from Long Island Va. There was a bridge there. The troops had orders to come across to the Halifax side and burn the bridge and they did. Bridge pillows are still there. This bunch was suppose to go to Franklin co. Va. in those mountains and use gorilla fighting tactics. They would have been hard to stop.
Lee signed the surrender and got word to all the army as soon as they could. If he had gotten the entire force in those hills it would have taken years to get them out.
Those bridge pillows are 3 miles from me. I saw a picture of the bridge in the Blanks family bible taken before it was burned.
