General Lee holds a council-of-war on the evening of April 8th. It is decided that April 9th will be spent trying to fight General Custer's Federal cavalry soldiers in an attempt to continue west and recapture the Confederate rations at Appomattox Station. General John B. Gordon successfully opens the road for the rest of the Confederate army to continue down to Appomattox Station. But the battle is only half over...

A video describing the results of the Battle of Appomattox Court House will be posted on April 9th (today) at 10:00 AM.

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.
