After negotiating for locations for the surrender the McLean house was selected. |
|
|
|
Ironically the McLean's had moved from Manassas to escape the war. |

Nearly four years later, General Lee surrendered to General Grant in McLean's parlor. |

When Lee was informed that Gordon's troops had broken ranks he ordered truce flags flow at about 11am on the 9th. |

The surrender documents were signed at this table. |
