  • James Dufresne: They Met at Appomattox Court House
    November 2017 Vol XXXIII, No 3 Thurs Nov 9 James Dufresne: They Met at Appomattox Court House “From present indications, the retreat of the enemy is rapidly becoming a rout.” So wrote Philip H. Sheridan to Lt Gen Ulysses S. Grant on April 5, 1865, from Jetersville Depot, Virginia, three days after Lee’s army had abandoned the trenches of the fallen cities of Richmond and Petersburg and begun its flight west. From the start, Grant’s goal was not merely to pursue Lee’s army but to intercept it: to cut it off and prevent Lee from veering south and joining the Confederate army of Joseph Johnston in North Carolina. Grant wanted to bring this war to a conclusion, so he ordered his two top generals, Sheridan and Sherman, to keep Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia constantly on the move. Lee’s army was in dire straits with very little food and ammunition remaining. Lee had planned to resupply his army at various points along his march west; however, he had little to no success. Grant had sent Sheridan and his command ahead with orders to destroy any supplies or ammunition that Lee might be able to acquire on his route west. He was also to intercept Lee’s army on its route wherever the time and place would allow. Sheridan did get the opportunity to stop Lee and his army at a place called Appomattox Court House. Gen Grant had been corresponding with Gen Lee for a couple of days previously while both were on the march.
