The Surrender of Genl. Joe Johnston near Greensboro,
N.C. April 26th, 1865
|
After Lee surrendered at Appomattox, Confederate
General Joseph E. Johnston considered the war to
be over and sought terms of peace from his Union
counterpoint, General William T. Sherman. This print
celebrates the formal surrender of Johnston’s
army to Sherman on April 26, 1865, near Greensboro,
North Carolina.
In February 1891, Johnston served as a pallbearer
at Sherman’s funeral in New York. He caught
a cold and died of complications from pneumonia
the next month.
