The trail to the clearing.
 
 

It was here in this clearing that Lee finally decided he had fought enough. Around a campfire in the middle of the group Lee and his generals argued out whether or not to give up and go home or to soldier on until nothing was left. From here Lee sent word to Grant to meet in Appomattox to work out terms. Lee tried one final battle, a breakout at Appomattox but it was pretty half hearted, Lee was done. Who could blame him?
