At that time one book was published in 1859 dealing with the final campaign called to appomattox. Its a good popular book but i remember after reading it and studying it i had a lot of questions as to where the events took place, how did the armys get from here to there . So this book here set up my quest, then, to learn more about these sites. At that time when i worked at appomattox i worked with a gentleman a lot of you probably know. His name was harold howard. He portrayed an exsoldier who stayed on. I took the role of a Union Officer who was stationed in appomattox on provoes duty after the surrender. He and i were companions in trying to learn
