"Last Days of the Rebellion" by Alanson M. Randol is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book details the experiences of the Second New York Cavalry during the final days of the Civil War, particularly around the significant events leading up to the surrender of the Confederate Army at Appomattox. Randol, a major and former colonel in the cavalry regiment, provides an eyewitness perspective on the critical operations and battles that marked this pivotal moment in American history. In the narrative, Randol recounts the winter of 1864-1865, when his regiment was stationed near Winchester, Virginia, and the subsequent movements that culminated in the attack on Appomattox Station. He describes the regiment's challenges, its encounters with Confederate forces, and the urgency to secure crucial railroads and supplies. Throughout the text, Randol emphasizes the bravery and determination of his men, culminating in a night attack that ultimately led to a successful interception of General Lee's army. This narrative not only captures the military significance of these events but also reflects the camaraderie and mutual respect between the opposing forces during a time of profound national conflict.
