The fighting which begins at Appomattox Station over the Confederate rations spills over into the fields just west of the village of Appomattox Court House. Confederate General Walker is commanding 100 reserve artillery pieces ahead of General Lee's army, awaiting the rest of the Confederate troops. General Custer wins the battle by capturing 25 cannons and 1,000 prisoners.
General Grant establishes his headquarters at Clifton House that same evening. His experiences will be shown in a video to be released on April 8th (today) at 9:00 PM.
These videos will be posted on the park's YouTube channel, but links will also be available through the park's Facebook and Twitter pages. Use the hashtag #APX152 to follow events occurring at the park related to the 152nd Anniversary of the battles and surrender of General Lee's army.
