Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Anecdotes and Incidents of Army Life: Reminiscences From Both Sides of the Conflict Between the North and South "The last man and the last ditch" were common figures of speech during the war, and strangely enough, they were definitely located long after the war itself had closed. On the morning of the Fourth of July, 1866, fifteen months after Lee's surrender, the Secretary of War, who had planned a fishing excursion to the Falls of the Potomac, received a telegram from the provost marshal at Richmond, Va., stating that a squad of Confederate soldiers were at his office ready to deliver up their arms and be amnestied. Knowing that joking of that description would subject the perpetrator to court-martial, he hurriedly went to the White House to consult President Johnson, which resulted in a telegram to the Provost Marshal: "Who are they and where did they come from?" The answer was to the point: "Sergeant Tewksbury and guard from Dismal Swamp. Did not know the war was over." After a good deal of laughter the provost marshal was ordered to receive their capitulation, which was conducted in due form. Tewksbury, an old Virginian, ordered his squad, a couple of Georgians, to give up their guns and sign the papers, reserving himself as the last man to surrender of all the Confederate forces. The old Sergeant's description of the way he ascertained the war was over was amusing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
