The Cover: Tearful veterans of the Army of Northern Virginia furl their flag at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. "With a reluctance that was appealingly pathetic, the torn and tattered battle flags were laid upon the ground," wrote General Joshua Chamberlain, who accepted their surrender. "Some of the men who had carried and followed those ragged standards through four years of strife rushed from the ranks, bent about their flags, and pressed them to their lips."
