That can only be the hands of Andre?

Maybe if I could read the damn print on those markers.... I might...

 

I saw a picture with those blown up and they didn't give it away..."Authorized Personnel Only Beyond This Point" I believe is what it was.

Hey, I bet only a "handful" of us knew that one. Andre was amazing. Once drank 119 beers at one sitting.

Even more impressive, if the story is to be believed, he drank 102 beers during a 45 minute layover at the airport. :lol2:

Nice!!!!

I was at Appomatox Courthouse last summer. Virginia has a different way of naming their county seat. The county seat is given the county name and add to it the word Courthouse. In other words, it refers to the town not the building. However, there is a building called the courthouse in the town.

 

Any way, the first pic of the larger building is the courthouse within the town of Appomattox Courthouse. The second pic is of the home where Lee and Grant met to discuss the terms of surrender and where the signing took place. This was Grant's finest hour. Oh that he had lived longer to see guide the proceedings following the Civil War.

 

This was a very cool place to visit. There was a very knowledgeable tour guide who was a great story teller. You could feel the drama that occurred there in those few days.

 

BTW, thanks @Science Friction for giving someone else (me) a chance.

 

Regarding the bolded, do you mean Lincoln? Grant lived until 1885 and oversaw much of the reconstruction of the south following the war. In fact, his administrations were riddled with scandal over corruption during reconstruction. Sorry, just wondering.
