the Battle of Sayler's Creek

"My God--has the army dissolved?"
--General Robert E Lee

Lee's army is on the run after abandoning Petersburg, strung out along the Appomattox River with baggage trains. Can Sheridan's aggressive Federal vanguard finally destroy the remnants of the Army of Northern Virginia, or will the setting sun allow the rebel to slip away to Appomattox?
