At 10 o'clock on the morning of October 17, 1781, a drummer beating a "parley," and a British officer with a flag of truce, mounted a parapet south of Yorktown. The allies saw the signal, and soon the incessant, devastating artillery fire ceased. A hushed stillness fell over the field.
Lord Cornwallis, realizing the defeat of his army was inevitable, sent a message to General George Washington:
"Sir, I propose a cessation of hostilities for twenty-four hours, and that two officers may be appointed by each side, to meet at Mr. Moore's house, to settle terms for the surrender of the posts of York and Gloucester."
Why Cornwallis selected the Moore House for the negotiations was not explained, however, there are a number of possibilities.The Moore House was well outside the line of siege fire, and therefore, not damaged. It was a neutral location, hiding the British situation in town, and possibly selected in the hope of securing better surrender terms. And finally, it was a convenient location for both sides to reach, as it was situated along the York River.
Hundreds lined the road as U.S. Grant and his men arrived on horseback in this reenactment. Thousands of reenactors and spectators filled Appomattox Courthouse National Historical Park on Thursday, April 9, 2015 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Robert E. Lee's surrender to Ulysses S. Grant and the end of the Civil War.

If I happen upon and insect on it's
back with legs all kicky scrambly,
my first instinct is to right side up it.
Sometimes they can be saved,
othertimes despite my best efforts
they surrender.
The one above resisted all
efforts to rightside up.
When I held up my phone to take a picture,
he posed just as such - arms
outstretched as if to say
"I give up."
We had a conversation while
he was in the throes,
but nothing fit
for public consumption.
Wunderfone is filled with photos of
such insects, and the shell of
a dead dragonfly.
A U.S. Army color guard and firing detail from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) were part of the opening ceremonies April 9, 2015, for a special observance and reenactment for the 150th anniversary of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant April 9, 1865, at Appomattox, Va. The Old Guard served at Appomattox in 1865. The event featured hundreds of Civil War reenactors, such as those shown here, and thousands of spectators. (Photos courtesy Kim and Mary Jane Holien)
