520    "The Room in the McLean House, at Appomattox C.H., in 
       which Gen. Lee surrendered to Gen. Grant." Most written 
       accounts of Robert E. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant 
       at Appomattox on April 9, 1865 noted the difference 
       between Lee’s stiff dignity and Grant’s more relaxed 
       demeanor. This lithograph of the event, showing the two 
       men as they waited for the peace terms to be copied, 
       captures that difference better than most. After the 
       surrender, Wilmer McLean, the owner of the house, lost 
       much of his furniture to soldiers desiring mementos of the
       historic event. Later, in what proved to be a futile 
       effort to recoup his losses and raise funds for his needy 
       family, he commissioned this print.  Pictured Left to 
       Right: John Gibbon, George Armstrong Custer, Cyrus B. 
       Comstock, Orville E. Babcock, Charles Marshall, Walter H. 
       Taylor, Robert E. Lee, Philip Sheridan, Ulysses S. Grant, 
       John Aaron Rawlins, Charles Griffin, unidentified, George 
       Meade, Ely S. Parker, James W. Forsyth, Wesley Merritt, 
       Theodore Shelton Bowers, Edward Ord. The man not 
       identified in the picture’s legend is thought to be 
       General Joshua Chamberlain, a hero of Gettysburg who 
       presided over the formal surrender of arms by Lee’s Army 
       of Northern Virginia on April 12, 1865.
