to the north, in upper mississippi, general nathan forrest at his cavalry command -- had his cavalry command. he will disband his cavalry -- again, there are no union troops in the vicinity but being under general taylor views instructed to have -- he is instructed to have his men turned and equipment. there is a nice monument that marks were they were camped. let's move a little more to the west, the trans-mississippi, the largest geographic department in the confederacy. it embraces this entire area. louisiana, arkansas, texas missouri, and the indian territory which today is oklahoma. the commander of the department is general kirby smith. that is not his picture up there, you will see him later. this will be one of the more chaotic events that unfolds. by 1865 the bulk of the confederate army of the trans-mississippi is camped around shreveport, louisiana in the upper corner of louisiana. union forces are down here in port hudson, henry, and new orleans -- baton rouge, and new orleans. the armies are not in contact and the confederates will do what they want to do without union t

the cavalry will turn over their weapons. the the men could keep horses if they owned them as personal property, a part of the terms. the next day, april 11, the confederate artillery will surrender their guns. that is simply a process of turning over the artillery union officers. probably the most famous part of the surrender of these three days would be the infantry which would surrender weapons on april 12. this is a six-hour process, most of the day, for one division of the time that -- one division at a time to stack rifles. on the road is a division of union infantry and this was carried out with a great deal of ceremony and formality. the union officer of the day was general joshua chamberlain and the confederate officer was general gordon. chamberlain orders his men to salute the confederates as they come in by having them shoulder arms which is a command where they hold the rifle at their side. gordon will have the confederates return the salute shoulder arms. this was done with dignity and respect, there were occasi

the federal cavalry can overrun artillery positions quickly. so they are all retreating to the appomattox courthouse village. the next morning lee sends more troops to be able to take the trains. he believes that his infantrymen and the troops that he has can overtake a cavalry unit in the area and get back the supply trains. at 7:30 in the morning, another battle begins in the area. when lee discovers that the general and his army have arrived overnight with 20 of federal reinforcements. they have effectively cut off lee's approach to the supply trains. the battle last till 10:30 the morning, when general lee sends a message to general grant telling him he is ready to surrender his army. the bridge is highbridge, going from farmville to appomattox. it crossed the appomattox river. this photograph was taken in august of 1865, when they were doing final repairs to the bridge after the war. we are going into the gallery. i will show you some of the items we have. some of them were specific to appomattox. our collection is very broad very deep. we

there was a union cavalry corps that was ambushed. on dahlgren were found papers with orders to burn the white house of the confederacy and also if possible to kill jefferson davis. when these worked their way up the chain to the confederate high command, that is where you began to see systematically the goal going towards the formation of a confederate clandestine operation to undertake possibly kidnapping lincoln for retaliation. john wilkes booth's motivation behind the kidnapping was largely due to the exchange of prisoners of war between the north and south. lincoln implemented this at the suggestion of general grant to wear down the manpower of the confederacy. if this had been successful, john wilkes booth could successfully kidnap lincoln, carry him south, and hold him as hostage, he might be able to force the resumption of the exchange of prisoners of war to keep the war going on indefinitely. here we have in 1865 depiction of the theatre box where president lincoln was seated that night. there is a framed print of george was
