"Bayonets were affixed to muskets, arms stacked, and cartridge boxes unslung and
hung upon the stacks. Then, slowly and with a reluctance that was appealingly
pathetic, the torn and tattered battleflags were either leaned against the stacks or laid
upon the ground. The emotion of the conquered soldiery was really sad to witness.
Some of the men who had carried and followed those ragged standards through the
four long years of strife, rushed, regardless of al
discipline, from the ranks, bent
about their old flags, and pressed them to their lips with burning tears.
"And it can well be imagined, too, that there was no lack of emotion on our side,
but the Union men were held steady in their lines, without the least show of
demonstration by word or by motion. There was, though, a twitching of the muscles of
their faces, and, be it said, their battle-bronzed cheeks were not altogether dry. Our
men felt the import of the occasion, and realized fully how they would have been
affected if defeat and surrender had been their lot after such a fearful struggle.
"But, as I was saying, every token of armed hostility having been laid aside, and the
men
having given their words of honor that they would never serve again against the flag,
they were free to go whither they would and as best they could. In the meantime our
army had been supplying them with rations. On the next morning, however, the
morning of the 13th, we could see the men, singly or in squads, making their way
slowly into the distance, in whichever direction was nearest home, and by nightfall we
were left there at Appomattox Courthouse lonesome and alone."
