you had general mahon's division. coming out of richmond was general ewell's command. this is a wagon train that gets captured. the other line, this one here which stays south of the river goes on to the courthouse. those of you that do drive our lee's retreat driving tour that has been around for 20 years or so, that is the route you follow there. the reason we chose that of the other three, it's, of course, you can see here along that route they were pursued by union troops. they were fighting along the way in places to see. mahon's decision leaves bermuda hunter line, which is right in here, as it's the part of the confederate line that ran between appomattox river and james river. that's bermuda hunter. long street first and third corps. the third corps had been ap hill but under -- under ap hill but as tracy pointed out on april 2nd hill was killed so his troops were added on to long street. general gordoned second corps, all of those will come from the petersburg area right here. now, there was a small fourth corps under richard anderson that was comprised of pic

mahone's division leaves bermuda hundred line. it is part of a confederate line between the appomattox river and the james river. that is bermuda hunter. lung street's first and third, the third corps was under ap hill. as tracy pointed out on april 2 he was killed. his troops were added on to long street. all of those will then come from the petersburg area. there was a fourth quarter under richard anderson. of course had escaped from this area down here. from five forks. and they are going on this right here. along with anderson and pickett was was the confederate calvary. in the federal army you had general george gordon mead three army corps, and other groups, and they will be following for the most part here the army of the james. following what is basically route 460. the army had 76,000 effective and by the time they get to appomattox they will have 63,000 with a loss on this entire campaign of 8600 men. on the other hand the confederate army ran between 55,000 and 58,000. general lee will surrender about 30,000 of his men

gordon, mahone alexander all back here in the river valley.here's gary confederate engineers out protecting the left blank. he is about three miles away, around a place called new hope church facing the federal second and six corps. the federal calvary is watching them. they hit the stage road to the west and there's fighting right around the walmart. they are battling over the walmart. this is where they're fighting. this is where the last casualty is that take place. the federal commander henry davies facing off against tom mumpher's men. captain john vantoole gets captured. he's wounded three times in this fight. he's a lieutenant, tent calvary. there's confederate casualties. men killed. william parker, second virginia calvary. robert parker, second virginia calvary. william price, first maryland calvary confederate. they receive promotions for gal i can't. that's captain cantz. federal troops send out white flags to stop that fighting. but mumpher knows that he's going to meet with general grant. they disband in lynch burg. john ramsey of

brendan: thomas mahone stresses royalty. also the literal british kind of .manual labor. you can wait a year or more. tom mahone has his own firm english cut. he joins us on set. to want to talk aboutm suits. i want to talk about apprenticeship. we have been teasing this as an art, but it is a trade. what does it take to cut up bespoke patterns by hand? tom: tim e is the essential key. in order to cut the pattern successfully, to measure somebody and design something, you have to know how it goes together. so you have to be able to know all the backstory as well. you got to know literally from the ground up what a human being making something to do. it is not just about the fit. cloth has to be shaped formed. so, traditionally, it is not quite the way now, but is to be four years of learning to make in a work room. a further three years of the cutting room. and that would be combined with college where you learn to dress. brendan: he start sewing is a taylor. only then do you learn to approach a human being and try to figure out what a suit looks like. how ha

today's rain is expected to help put out a brushfire that is threatening homes in pennsylvania's mahoningirefighters have been pumping water out of the family pool to carry water up to where it is burning. crews have sprayed a foam resist resist -- fire resistant foam on the yard. >> reporter: i-95 creeping along slowly from academy to cottman and betsy ross bridge into girard slower than normal. farther south on i-95 new castle county there's an accident involving a pick up truck tractor-trailer on its side. i-95 increased jammed at highway 1 expect restrictions and delays. 34, 36 trolley seeing the impact of the power outage along elmwood avenue. >> reporter: the delays are related tots heart of the heavy rain in the center of the region. you can see it highlighted in yellow. there's drying in will come county and baltimore but it's only slowly making its way toward the east. by 9:00 a.m. 62 degrees. in the very least areas north an east of philadelphia will be looking at decent rain. 68 at noon, just a couple of sprinkles and showers, 74 is the 3:00 p.m. temperature. we'll get a high o

and he then had general mahone form a battle line and straggler stragglers fall with him. that would be the group that would cross high bridge the next day. and so sailor's creek then turns out to be a major disaster for the confederate army. generally speaking between a third and a quarter of his forces were taken from him. there were 7,700 prisoners taken including the following generals. and all of them would go off to prison. a few days later with these losses taken by lee's army upon reaching the village of appomattox courthouse on april 9 he will surrender approximately 30,000 troops and when he left richmond the confederate forces numbered around 55,000 troops. so you figure that out. at appomattox 8,000 of sailor's creek out of approximately 55,000 would bring it to like i said quarter to a fifth of the army. now, at that time medals of honor were given for different reasons than today for the most part for the capture of flags at sailor's creek 49 union soldiers were given medals of honor. nine given for gallantry. one of those being sam eddie who did get a medal

and they will meet at fort mahone. but gordon stops the breakthrough and pushes union troops back. they will battle throughout the day on april 2, just through petersburg. having captured those picket lines on jones farm, they find themselves much closer to the confederate line than they have been, so they will end up breaking to the confederate lines there, south of petersburg. once they breakthrough to the south, even lee, at his headquarters from the terminal -- at the turnbull house house can see his lines crumbling. he sees at ap hill to find out what is going on, and they come across two union soldiers in the woods. they order them to surrender. the union soldiers shoot first and a.p. hill will be lost as petersburg is getting ready to fall. with that, the union sixth corps turns south, leaving a gap for the union 24th core that has now been brought to petersburg to go through and head toward petersburg. at that point, lee is going to send a message to the confederate secretary of war john breckenridge, and breckenridge is going to have that message forwarded to the president

general mahone, confederate. standing amongst the governor of pennsylvania. general dan sickles. northerner. the famed controversial northerner. they are meeting on the battlefield to start crafting and shaping civil war memories. this is an example. e.d. cope is one of the first administers of the battlefield. this is james longstreet, the bearded guy on the left, in the middle of the image. remember your mutton chops? to his right is stan butterfield, the union veteran. southerners initially do not have a lot of interest in commemorating gettysburg. why would they not want to commemorate gettysburg? because they lost there, right? commemorating a defeat is not very palatable. gettysburg is in a union state in pennsylvania. the surge of commemorative activity that mirrors reconciliation happens around the 25th anniversary of the battle. reconstruction is over. the south is imbued with the lost cause phenomenon and they , will go to pennsylvania and help northerners lay out the monument to mark the place where they fought. and they create this infrastructure at gettysburg to talk
