Appomattox Court House in Virginia is best known as the village where Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to Ulysses S. Grant in April 1865, effectively ending the main fighting of the Civil War. This wet collodion glass negative shows a group of Federal soldiers posed at the courthouse itself, a small brick building that became a symbol of the war's close. The negative is catalogued in the Library of Congress Civil War glass negative collection, and it was once attributed to Alexander Gardner, the photographer who documented many Union camps and battlefields. Its survival offers a rare, close look at the men who occupied the village in the days after the surrender.
