Gen. Lee/Gov. Stockdale
Governor, If I had forseen the use those people designed to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox Courthouse: no sir, not by me. Had I forseen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in this right hand."
Gen. Robert E. Lee to Gov. Stockdale of Texas.
Was this a letter sent to Gov. Stockdale??? Does anyone know the source??
