his headquarters is in winchester in april 1865. from his headquarters, hancock writes the secretary stanton. he asks what he is supposed to do. should he extend the same terms? in fact, he gets orders from stanton on april 10 to circulate the correspondence, the famous correspondence that had gone back and forth between grant and lee, he is asked to print it and post it all over winchester. and that is over here in special collections. hancock was to offer the same terms that grants had offered lee's men. he prints in the newspaper newspapersth the still in circulation, he posts these up and down the valley. i will review that. "all detachments and stragglers from the army of northern virginia, with the exception of mosby, would be paroled under the same conditions at appomattox and be allowed to return to their homes." every military restraint shall be removed that is not actually necessary, he promises.

we had a speaker last week who was speaking about the winchester gun and the repeating rifle, and she made a statement that the repeating rifle was not used in the civil war. it was only years afterward against the native americans. the other question was that last week, we had a civil war .oundtable the person working to start the memorial to the national park -- it is a brand-new national park -- and he described how early's barefoot up to where the union troops were sleeping. teens, nothing. then, when they dove when that won that when they battle, they did go on a rampage, but it was because they had no shoes, no water, because nothing was allowed to make any noise because they attacked the union forces in their beds at 4:00 in the morning. when he was trying to get them to defend themselves later in the day, they were trying to eat .nd to close themselves >> thank you. some questions about early's army and technology. >> repeaters were used in the civil war. there was a variety of different models. i don't think they played a significant role, so perhaps that's what she was getti

john: i think aside from winchester, it would be interesting to look at lexington. both lee and jackson are very in lexington, so how early does lexington become a mecca for the lost cause? my own personal story is the first weekend i moved to lexington, was walking through and a car pulls up to me, and the window rolls down and i hear a southern drawl asking me where lee chapel is. again, the question is how early does that start? stephen: i have no statistics to back this up, but i would say that civil war memory in the valley is much like civil war memory along the path of sherman's march in that sheridan is still reviled and still invoked and still named as sherman is still invoked and reviled. i just spent this week in jackson, mississippi there also. i'm not sure that's quantifiable, but as you move through the landscape of the united states now and where you are likely to hear references to the war and what kind of references they are likely to be, sheridan in the valley is still live wire, especially for older people. >> in terms of that and in terms of the

in praising winchester as a sacred spot, second only to that of his birthplace and his mother's grave, early demonstrated the depth of his commitment to the valley.
