The AP Reports End of War-- Part 3: Confederate Soldier-By-Soldier Surrendering

From April 8, 1865, Associated Press.

Confederate "Stragglers are found scattered all along the line of march, and as the troops pass, they come in and surrender themselves, expressing their determination to fight no longer, as they consider the rebellion as good as over.

"Four guns were brought in this morning, besides a long train of ambulances, many containing wounded, who were placed in hospital and cared for."

--Old Secesh
