From the Saylors Creek website
On April 6, 1865, nearly a quarter of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's
army, more than 7,700 men, were killed, wounded or captured here. Lee
surrendered 72 hours later at Appomattox Court House.
Today begins my own retreat from Richmond to chase Lee's army west across the state. Saylors Creek, Jetersville, Amelia CourtHouse, Farmville. The weather is overcast and predictions are for rain.
